Randall, for brevity's sake, it can do whatever an ELF LSB executable chooses to in your backyard. You are right, of course: The community has a top track record of finding and solving issues. Distros don't come with trojans and vicious firefox because of that. Great, and nowhere near the outlandish security issues Windows people have seen.
