I think that the main issue is that the specified audience ("all users") doesn't match up with the intent (a comprehensive security overview). I don't see there's anything wrong with saying that it's a detailed guide for more advanced users, and leaving the basic security stuff for another doc - 1) don't mess with the defaults without a reason, 2) run updates, 3) there is no step 3 :) -- Stuart Ellis
