Re:Wrong attitude. (Score 1)

You've apparently got the 'everyone else but me is stupid' syndrome. What makes you think any given distro wouldn't set _reasonable_ default limits? There is absolutely no reason why any user-centric distribution would need no default limits on its user-resource-usage. How many processes do you really need? How much memory? How many open files? These are all resources that can be common-sensically limited, and it's _easy_ to raise those limits.

I mean, what would you rather have: a machine that's vulnerable by default to resource exhaustion, or a machine that's _not_ vulnerable by default.
