The distros from the mid to late '90s seemed to have been more secure. But as of late, most distros have seemed to have made it too easy to run as root. The latest from Linspire allows the user set up a normal user account contrary to what has been published recently. The problem is, Linspire doesn't encourage, call out or insist that the installer create a normal user account. I know this is to make it "easier"...but why not train the newbies early before disaster strikes?
