Michael,
When does your system require you to re-verify? If it is when making system changes or installing software there is a reason behind this. It's security and I rather re-verify than my system assume I ok'd an install that turned out to be a virus delivering a package. Why do you think Windows is so virus prone? Have you seen Vista's security? It also wants to verify that what it is going to do is okay with you. I left Windows because I was tired of an OS I was paying for ignoring it's user base begging for a more secure system. Instead they came out with their own anti-virus (one of the worst rated in the industry) and want us to pay 50.00 for the pleasure of security. I doubt a Linux distro will be willing to lower security for ease of use. That would defeat the reason many installed their OS in the first place.
