...and how do you know that the OS you're running doesn't have an undocumented back door or a security hole or the like??

It all comes down to trust. I don't study the source code to all the open source apps I install. I just read the prevailing opinions out there on the interweb and make a judgement.

That's how I got one of the excellent eXPerience editions of XP. SP3 slipstreamed, unatended installation, no serial to enter, just pop the cd in press go and leave it for half an hour.

These 'shady' homebrew OSs are the only way your going to get a 99mb version of XP as well.
