I don't disagree with you at all in principle, but you assume that the
administrator controls the clients, which in the ISP business, isn't
true. To provide public services, clear text is still unfortunately
required. I've also heard frets from professors concerned that they
won't be able to access their email at conventions, if the terminals
provided are Windows and have only telnet. My solution? Give 'em a
copy of PuTTY on a floppy disk. But there's a lot of painful
diplomacy required. Even in a controlled environment, changing
behavior and perceptions takes time.

I hope what you'll find is what I did, which is that Red Hat seems to
have done a spectacular job of listening to its customers. The
installer is much smarter, and the system is much more secure and
useable out-of-the-box than it ever has been. I've seen a quantum
leap in user-friendliness and installation quality over the last few
builds. With 7.0, Red Hat had become far more likely than Windows to
install cleanly and easily on the first try, even for a novice, and I
continue to be impressed. I still have kickstart problems, but that's
not something most users will have to deal with.
Now if we could just get a real browser included, we'd be sailing!
