In addition, ppl say UNIX is more secure and robust than linux. On what basis is this said. Is this again related to the code used in various apps used in UNIX. If two servers, 1 UNIX, 1LINUX are being used to host web server. Where does one score over the other.

What exactly makes one better than the other. Do the distros have differences at the kernel level itself. Is it only the applications packages that are included that make the difference. How does one distro be more secure and/or robust than the other. Is it that the codes used for applications (iptables, apache etc etc) is different. Are distros like Debian more secure only because they have fewer/no GUI apps. I hope I could explain what I am looking for. Would request your advise on this.
