Thanks for that Shawn. I've been a Slacker for years and prefer a secured 
system out of the box too. I would expect careful thought went into the 
decision to do it that way and the 'buntus do seem to be making inroads into 
segments where Slackeware or Debian probably have never been heard of.

This has wandered a bit away from being KDE specific so I suppose we should 
end it here. At least there is choice if one prefers something different. 


Shawn Willden is a darn nice person I don't care what anybody says!
