No Ron, it's not that. If I wanted to hide my BSD bias, I would have chosen
a different email addr!
I said redhat only to point out that "open source" and "free" are not the same
thing, not for security. If it were only for me, I would have cited "BSDi",
but that
would generate a "what is that thing you call BSDi?".
(note that I haven't talked about suse, so I guess you're confusing my
message with
another one?)

My preferred Linux distributions are: OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD and BSD/OS....
and if I'm really forced with a gun on the head, then I'd go for a debian ;-}
