Hi All, I'm with Randall on this. Linux is increasingly competing successfully against Windows by *not being Windows*. SUSE/Novell needs to lead by example instead of encouraging insecure computing practices. Having the GUI option available, at all, is already a big compromise. Turning it on by default at installation goes too far and will be counterproductive in the long haul. Encouraging insecure practices is not a successful competitive strategy because it moves you farther away from the goal instead of closer to it. Anyway, Linux is increasingly competing successfully against Windows by *not being Windows* and this is one reasonable area to remain differentiated. my 2 cents, - Carl
