Okay, before this goes on any longer, let me set this straight. I'm not
making a point on what I mean by security or how flexible any particular
setup is.
My issue is with having to jump through hoops to get my setup done. I do
not like my OS telling me how I should do anything. Isn't that why we
detest Windows?
If Linux can't do something the way I want it done, I want to be able to
modify it to suit my needs. That's the model the open source movement
was built on, and it's what I insist on continuing to use. Not
mis-matched patch-ons like sudo.
