[NTLUG:Discuss] Linux Dist.

[mike]

	Mandrake gives one security options at install.  It ranges from wide
open with everything running to nothing running and no access to system
files by anyone but root.

	Makes that option on Distro Choices a no brainer too.
  Do not set Security to max in Mandrake if you don't know how to start
things up manually, or you will be sitting with a pretty much usesless
system for a newbie.

Does Suse Not do this?? or Mandrake?? Not trying to sway you, or anyone else, Just a basic question of what these distributions do.
