That's certainly true, and the implementation makes it hard to administrate properly, too (too many things won't run with normal user privileges). At least this is one thing that's nearly always right on Linux. About the only exception I can think of is the problems people used to have when trying to burn CDs as a normal user but I don't think that exists anymore. I think normal users can do anything that normal users should be able to do. Then there's all the system services that you can't properly configure, so you end up relying on a firewall, anti-virus, etc., to protect you... -- Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
