You seem successful in managing Windows boxes, but my experience is the opposite. Those daughters who kept getting their computer infected? They never were told the root password. It also meant a lot that they couldn't just double click something and have it run. Such a simple difference in design can mean the world. </snip>
I don't see why you think Linux is any better at this. If you gave those same daughters a fully patched Windows XP box, turned on automatic updates, and gave them accounts that were only in the Users group (i.e. not administrators), their chance of getting infected would be zero, too. _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
