You can do better than that. 9600 baud on UHF, and 2 to 10 MB/s using microwaves (all you need are stations on the backbone transmitting out).
Perhaps not as cheap tho:-)
Although the distro may be set up insecurely a competent administrator can easily plug the holes in config files - each distro uses the same software - or upgrade if the software itself is faulty, in which case no distro will save you. I acknowledge that for cloned workstations this *is* a problem, but many suggestions point to 5-10 department servers - I agree with this. It's then no big deal to fix known holes, and the admin can spend the time he would spend fixing Windoze looking for other holes!
Sing a happy, happy, happy, happy, happy, happy song. Sing a happy, happy... oh, wait. Wasn't it ESR who said he wanted to see M$ defeated by consumer choice and not by the government? I have to say I agree. Even though M$ is split into two, they're still the same company (in two pieces) with the same ethos and the same terrible software. All that will happen now is that anyone who ate out of M$-Monolithic's hand before will now have to buy their software from two different companies - and it will be the same software! What we really need is more public revelations of what M$ is really up to - even more so now with the possibility of inter-corporate plotting - such as the Halloween Memos. So really, nothing's changed. Sorry to disappoint you.

Well I'm moving to the US as soon as possible... I wonder if 90% of the British population emigrated the government would rethink?

The point is you're not buying the software, but a license to use the software and what M$ is doing is restricting the terms of the license.
Was it your own recipe or the traditional Douglas Adams slice-of-lemon-wrapped-around-a-brick GargleBlaster?
