Nuno,

Didn't know this thread was poll-ish.
I use/administer/whatever 100 machines at the moment: 11 run linux,

You dont have to be a server admin to be concerned about security. I'm a
desktop user/developer and while customization is nice, security is
paramount.

Hi Steve and Vince.
I agree with you that the desktop must stay as slim as possible,
