   Well, back in the SUSE 5.0 days, there was this one annoying thing it had,   
   which did deter me from it for a LOOOOOONG time.   
      
   They, out of box install, setup NFS servers with exports to / by default, with   
   a known reported vulnerability in NFS at the time.    
      
   It literally took a week of using SUSE as a NAT server on dialup, and being   
   connected on IRC as I usually always am (still even today!), to get a message   
   on my consoles saying:    
      
   "A darker side of nowhere..."   
      
   And when I checked the process lists, there was something running: rm -rf /   
   which had a parent pid of the NFS servers.    
      
   It was a slow server that was running SUSE as a dialup system at the time, so   
   the process of removing everything took a looooooong time, and by the time it   
   wwas done, I already had a newly rebuild backup NAT/Dialup solution ready to   
   replace it, more secure.
