Linux without built in Security as the rule is not Linux. If the devs of this distro feel that strongly about removing what makes Linux truly great, then I suggest they immediately stop their efforts and instead switch over to M$'s camp. There really is no point at all in a new user switching over to Linux (or MAC), if they are going to continue to do things the M$ way. Case in point, my neighbor wanted me to load Ubuntu on her Computer because she does not like Vista and is sick of M$ forcing things on her. I did so, everything worked out of the box including her wireless. I installed several Open Source apps for her to do her work, and showed her just how easy everything was and how she could get strait to work with all she now had. What did she do?..
Its now two months later, and she gave that computer to her son, and asks me to come with her to buy a new computer with Vista preloaded on it. Turns out she never even attempted to try to do things the Open Source way. Linux's built in security did not have anything to do with it. It was just that she didn't feel comfortable doing things differently than what she had always been brainwashed into doing. No amount of tweaking the system would have changed her mind. She just cant get past the M$ brainwash she has been spoon fed all her life, and never will feel comfortable doing anything different from what she was conditioned to do. The joke of it all is that she wants to be an IT Network Major!! I of course, advised her to choose a different field lol!!!
