I do not care (and will NOT listen) to those who whine that users simply won't do this. It is a fact of 21st century life that there is someone out there who does not wish you well. 9/11 and Madrid are testament to the fact that the military and the government are not the prime targets. The great British and US public are a genuine target as never before and for whatever motives, current political activity is not reducing the risks.However the security measures in place for cars, terrorism etc are put in place by the government/large companies, therefore is the linux community going to have put this security in place, I mean I am yet to meet a person which has fitted there own airbag in there car. Fact is people may become more aware of security issues from IT, but they will expect companies/organisations to provide the answers. At the end of the day why should a trained plumber need to be aware of Linux security issues when trying to do an invoice to a customer, as long as the invoice prints then they are happy!
