I tend to trust Red Hat (mostly), but what happens if the Linspires

their tinkering? I don't trust Linspire in this regard.
Me neither. I hope one company cannot soil Linux's reputation.
Well, if Linspire's policies open the doors for virus propagation on
Linux, it will likely be mostly limited to Linspire and others like it.
This would be a resounding confirmation of what Stewart was saying about
relaxing the cautious standards that Linux has. If this happens, the
world may go "Aha! Linux is not so secure!" We'll just have to find a
way to get them to see the difference between the open doors of
Linspire's Linux and the still closed doors of just about everyone
else's Linux.
