See, this is what people like me who have been using exclusively OSS (and FOSS) for years have had to deal with! ;)

P.S. Don't forget to enable SELinux. :)

Edit: To be fair to your co-debater, by using open-source software with minor exceptions here and there (unFree firmware in the kernel, a smattering of non-Free software, patent-protected multimedia drivers, etc.) is in the mind of Free Software activists kind of like saying that you should have strong privacy rights, except perhaps for a little bit of metadata here and there, maybe some quibbling about analysis/capture just to make it easier on everyone. Why be a zealot about one of those but not about the other?

I personally believe people are free to choose what to be activists about but that's the perspective I see.
