These people *do* need the security features. You want Linux to end up like Windows, with a virus/spyware infection the *norm*?
The most viruses or worms I found, are exploiting security holes in the special wintendo virus pack by M$: IE, OE and the XPeriment...often nobody knows that a worm runs for weeks on his/her system. And... I argue that more as 96 % of the win users @ home are using their system as installed my M$ as a sys admin...no wonder.
For a private Linux user who uses only a GIMP, firefox, evince, Ooo, thunderbird and some games and with no important data on the disk, there is no need for special security things, RAID and Co. in times of cheap DVD burners to secure data. A good cheap (DSL) router in front, a up2date system with only needed services running, using secure passwords, secure software, working as Luser, is the best medicine.
