It's a happy Medium, Root doesn't log in by default, and making users log
in, makes them write all of it down and stick it on the monitor anyway.
It's a trade off, you secure a computer to the best of your know hows and a
user just knocks that down with a pasty.
Hey Allen,
I think it's more than frustrating to call everybody that's not a
computer expert a "drooling idiot". It's a fact that a *normal* home
user wants to turn on his computer and start to work, without thinking
about all the techniques behind a computer and what device in it makes
exactly has what function.
Isn't it possible for linuxers to accept that there are others around,
still impressed by the simpleness and stability of Linux? But they don't
know how to compile a kernel or how to install a program from sources...
in fact they probably don't know what a source is!
So as Linux is growing to the mass market, Linux pro's should start to
help them and not to call them *idiots*; otherwise tey'll tell everybody
what a crap Linux is (ups.. sorry! That's absolutely not what I think!
So don't kill me for this sentence) and if they get no help, they'll
just fall back to Windows: the system they^ve been using for a long time
and the system with many so-called professionals around...
Sorry dewds! I just think a lot of wars could be avoided if we'd accept
that not everybody has the same knowledge and meaning about something!
Greetings,
Dominique
