Of course, Mandrake is overkill when it comes for house install. The thing
is, it opens port 6000 (which can be turned off from /etc/X11/gdm and
/etc/inittab by adding "-nolisten tcp") That way it will close most of the
port like port 1024 kdm, gdm port, and X-Window port.
What if there's a buffer overflow in the future and home network is open?
Can we have an install option saying that "Home/Consumer Install - no need
X-Window server to open port 6000 and X Font server" ... then "Business
install - with X-Window server open for remote connection" (or word it
according to your style... english isn't my 1st language...
