Well, I'll just have to agree to disagree. Sure, it would be nice if
everyone knew everything up front before jumping in, but the world
doesn't work like that and people learn by trying things.
People come here with problems that need solutions. What they don't need
is a lecture on how they're going to bring the world to a halt by
turning on a named server.

You didn't call anyone a moron, but you're implying it. Your attack was
at me which doesn't need to be in a list like this. If you want a debate
over what services the average linux user should have on, go over to
slashdot. 
Post the answer, move on to the next problem. Let the user decide what
he/she/it wants to do with it.
