Fedora which has invested so much effort into
security has to continue
discouraging potential security issues. Just because
some users think
security doesnt matter doesnt change this policy.
I like this. This is great. Security does matter.
but considering the threats out there, what is the
probability that your machine(home machine) will get
compromised?
I do care about security issues and I am rethinking
what you are telling me, but say you are not going to
connect that machine with the everything install to
the internet. You just want it for your
nephews/nieces to play games/word process, listen to
music, watch movies, etc. How is the "everything
installed" gonna hurt here with security?
Now the thing changes a little if you have a server
running and that machine gets connected to the
internet with a fast connection, then it does matter
so I get your point. You need to have it constantly
updating, otherwise your system could become
compromised.

Antonio

See anaconda list archives. The changes are not
rapid at all. It has
been discussed for months before
