What Caldera do doesn't matter at all. Neither does it matter what anyone else does. Debian should just be a reliable (securitywise) distibution which is safe to use if you not clueless. I've just helped a friend instaling Debian. He had two comment about the above question. Is it the red or blue button there is active? It is badly marked which button you are about the press. The other comment is something about the wording of two of the questions. The firste question was saying something like "Do you want to keep the standard (less secure) option" and the next question said "Would you use the new (more secure) option". If the user just thinks that he wants the most secure box but not really reading precisly what it says he will say "no" to both questions. (That was what we did). I don't really remember which questions it was, but I'm almost sure one of them was the MD5 password question. -- Peter
