Title: RE: Debian or Linux 7???
Just how much more secure is Debian than redhat?
No dist is more secure than the adminstrator of the box.
A good configured RedHat is also secure, even though Debian might be
more secure 'out of the box'.
And I dont think your security-problem

And if; use kernel 2.4.1 and debian and everything should be fine.
the kernel rarely if ever has security problems that are remotely
exploitable, but there are local

for security.

The odds are good that your being cracked had nothing to do with the
kernel version you were

Security comes from knowing how to use and administrate Unix, it doesn't
just fall into your lap at the press of a button. If you want a secure OS
you have to work for it and understand what you're doing. Debian is no
more secure than Redhat is
The distribution is only as secure as the administrator makes it. If you
just install it and let it sit, you WILL get hacked/cracked. It may take
weeks, or months, but it will happen .. only a matter of time.

It might be more secure, because the packages chosen for distribution or
often more tested - not the latest versions with brand new bugs but
(somewhat) older packages with known bugs removed.
I would also have to add: I find it easier to keep Debian secure because
it is easier to get and

Hi Steve,

Anyway, I'm pretty new to Debian and Linux so anyone please feel free to
correct me.
