Vanakkam,

It seems Fedora 12 lets users install packages without root privileges.

Is Linux becoming least concerned about security? 

Note that it only allows you to installed signed packages from the
official Fedora repository.  However this is likely going to be reverted
in an update.  For those wanting to revert now, refer to
