Which comes back to the 'blame Ubuntu' part again. If they mess up 
following a howto, it is the howtos fault. If for any reason the 'make 
it easy to do' tool messes up, it is that tool's fault. If you come up 
with a piece of rubbish for a GUI, it is YOU who put that rootable, 
botable box on the Net. You can bet on what real admins feel about any 
distro that facilitates the work of criminals such as spammers and virus 
writers.
