Regarding Vivek's post, probably he is correct technically but neverthless the method I pointed out is quite an easy one.

What I meant by dat post is that new users shud be encouraged to put a pswd in the BIOS of their system. Saying that Linux is secure gives a false sense of security to newbies who think that Linux is unbreakable.
