This is a bad thing and could potentially lead to bad press, "We installed the
secure <insert distro name>  and yet look at all these hole we found." stories
will abound. I suddenly realize that not even M$ are stupid enough to put that
option on an install. When it comes down to it an OS, no matter what flavour, is
only as secure as the person administering it makes it. I think that is the key
point we need to be selling people on.
