Nope. If I set up XP Home, everyone has effective root permissions,
which is why things go wrong so often. Same applies, though to a lesser
extent, to XP Pro.
If I set up FC with the su password not being known to anyone other than
me, as many users as are needed can use the system with a 100% no chance
of screwing anything up other than their own user space. It takes no
looking after other than updating (which can be run as cron job)

Which I've not said. FC1 was not very good IMHO.

Other than on the install CD, I'm yet to find one for Windows.
