Yep!
Its not your fault.. you don't want to be an admin.

Nobody on this list will admit it, but RH/mandrake/etc are all as 
insecure as windows, because they try to appeal to users who don't know 
how to secure a box.
Note: I'l listing distros (that ship with a poor configuration), not 
saying "linux."

Other people have good suggestions... I just had to throw in my $0.02 
about rpm-baded linux being as evil as windows.
