+It seems that Fuse is compiled into the Ubuntu kernel by default.

+To test you can use `sshfs`:
+
+    sudo apt-get install sshfs
+    mkdir tmp
+    sshfs localhost:/tmp ./tmp
+    ls tmp
+
+To compile a fuse filesystem that doesn't have a package:
+
+    sudo apt-get install libfuse-dev

+## FUSEcompress 0.9.x
+
+FUSEcompress implements transparent file compression as a FUSE filesystem.
