Jesus! If I click on a link in some random website, it upgrades my machine? 
While I do not doubt the sincerity of the Mythbuntu crew, just imagine if any 
Tom, Dick or Vladimir can do that to some machine anywhere on the network, with 
any software of their choice, while I just think I am looking at some innocuous 
web page. How the heck do I guard against that?
