Is this valid in general, so for isntance if the user was handed a CD with 
Knoppix or Gentoo on it would they still have a single-source of fixes 
available to them?  Or is it strictly for the big distributions?

Should I be?  Or will I be inundated?  I'm no sysadmin, just a user (and 
occasional writer).  I don't know what your statement means.  Just to 
clarify my own terminology by "large" hole I was thinking "Of the sort 
that makes the evening news."
