OpenBSD does a fine job of providing a secure default install. I'm not
sure I buy that. And Solaris, for the most part, is reasonably secure on a
base install. I don't know all the issues with Linux since I stopped using
it in 1993 or 1994 but it would seem they could do a lot better. I'm not
looking for a holy war, just wondering why the default installs haven't
improved in spite of the extrememe vulnerabilities in the last few years.

Actually, now that I remember, SUSE has a really nice installer and had a
decent default installation.
