On a side note: if you want a free SSL certificate please use 
something like http://cert.startcom.org/ which is included within
most browsers. cacert.org is not included in any (that I know of)
browsers, I have no idea what the cacert practices are (and I
can't find any documentation on their site) so there's no way
that root key will be loaded by myself (and most people I know).


Cacert.org CA is trusted by the majority of Linux/BSD distributions
and therefore for any browser running on it. 
http://wiki.cacert.org/InclusionStatus

According to the page you quote it's not in any Mozilla browsers by
default (or any major web browser that I can see), it's not in Fedora
or Red Hat Enterprise Linux or any derivatives of Red Hat Enterprise
Linux, or Ubuntu or SuSE Linux to name a few (not to mention Mac OS X
or Windows).

I don't understand why people choose a widely unsupported CA when
there are widely supported CAs like StartCom that offer free
certificates. Please, use supported CAs.
