The vast majority, if not all, of security "issues" apply only
to public facing server environments.  For essentially standalone
personal workstations these "issues" are entirely superfluous.

Yet GNU/Linux continues to be distributed as basically a
on-size-fits-all product.  This is ridiculous.  My desktop
workstation is not a server and it will never experience
the "issues" that may plague servers.

It's well past time to fork.  There needs to be a GNU/Linux for servers
and a GNU/Linux for personal workstations.

I use LFS/Gentoo and I am able to configure things that are appropriate
for a workstation only.  I do not want to deal with the crap that
applies only to servers.  Other users, however, are not so fortunate.
