Instead of designing a fancy GUI, Canonical should focus on applications: the GIMP doesn't come even near Photoshop, Kompozer doesn't come even near Dreamweaver and the list goes on.

Well, Canonical does not own the software you have mentioned. The changes must be done by the original developer(s)

make a iso image of ubuntu secure... set iptables to deny all connections and ports onless the user makes the connection and set all iptables for the kernal... in short, make a stock iso secure rather then all of the security being off what the image first installs
