> If you plan to install an Operating System, then I believe some homework is in order -- you cannot expect the OS developers to spoon-feed you trivial security aspects that are expected to be a skill-set that you, the operating system installer, or System Administrator, do possess If you plan to publish an operating system, you should take effort to reduce this homework as much as is humanly possible. For every step where a user is expected to—but not explicitly required to—perform extra work to ensure their own security, the overwhelming majority of users will not take these extra steps. Arguing that they "should" gets us nowhere.
