That really only applies is you actually USE all those things you installed. If you install everything and don't pay attention to everything, then all sorts of things are going on behind your back. You'd have to be actively looking out for that sort of thing. I'm sure there are experimenters who'll install everything just to look for problems, and they can do that. I'm sure that there are people who'll install everything just for simplicities sake, leave themselves open to exploitation, do nothing to find out that they've been exploited. And even if they do discover they've been exploited, will do nothing that might help fix up the problem. -- Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
