There seems to be a new important security patch out for Linux every month, lots of "do not use this program" warnings, too many articles and books with too little useful information, high-priced consultants, and plenty of talk about compromised systems. It is almost enough to send someone back to Windows. Can the average Linux user or system administrator keep his or her system secure and still have time to do other things? Bob Toxen is happy to say yes and here is how to do it.

The article is referring to the average Linux user, not the average computer user.
That said, if the level of the Average User has fallen so low that they can't read and follow simple English instructions, then they shouldn't be allowed to touch an administrative account in the first place.
