Do you actually think, I decrease the Debian's usability, if I'm trying to put harm from debian users? Furthermore, this is debian-security, not debian-user, debian-kde or whatsoever. It is the nature of this list, to look at issues from a security point of view. > The fact is - currently Debian is a very good choice for a large set of use > cases - including desktop, even for newbies. I cannot disagree more, here. Following the deb-sec discussions for years, debian is highly *dangerous* especially if used by newbies. Mozilla (as often used by newbies), Kernel (essential for every server) and probably samba have (or had - concerning samba) been some important issues for months or years in woody. Thus it is foolish to recommend debian stable to newbies - mostly unaware of what they are doing. > And yes, keeping this situation requires some work. Well, If you really want to keep the situation and want to archive woodies situation - further discussion is hopeless - I guess. Mozilla in debian has been a catastrophe for years. Anyway, if you are up to make debian stable (not debian flavors like ubuntu / Knoppix, etc.) suitable for complete linux newbies, a lot of work will have to be done - assuming it's even possible, and ignoring the probably dramtic side effects this steps might have upon other areas of use.
