RE: Fork bombing a Linux machine as a non-root user

How about we just turn all linux distros into idiot-proofed windows
clones for the masses.

Then we can set about standardizing the whole mess into one final,
irrefutable distribution.  Lets call it LINUX, INCORPORATED.

We can have the whole thing dumbed down to the point that it can only
surf the web and send email (without attachements), and maybe make an
office document two, but god knows don't let 'em use any macros.

Jesus.
