Sorry - I sought to highlight that Turbo is not a beginners Linux, for
exactly the reason you say. Turbo starts with nothing enabled. Without even
loopback networking running by default most newbies would have a problem,
and the Turbo config scripts aren't exactly intuitive to invoke. Making
potential users aware of these issues with Turbo would probably save a lot
of grief.
