I was talking with another nerd recently about some kind of
*ultra*
secure Linux that wouldn't even give you root on
installation. So much
for getting 0wned. It's really more of a joke I think, but could
be
useful, I guess, for net appliances and other thin clients.
Wouldn't that give you nothing more than a system that you couldn't
clean once it got infected? Without root, there isn't much you'd be
able to fix...
The upside, though, is that without root, you probably haven't opened
any doors to infection either. Or to cute little commands such as rm
-rf * / .
