No Raju ... i never said cost=security .... i specifically said "cheap" distros .. like one of those lin on win type of distros.
Why talk about debian ( i guess ur kiddin when u say its secure .. right ?) .. even Slackware is good and secure....but thats not the point here. Even i can counter argue that do u mean to say that free+regular=secure ? I dont think so!
When you talk about security many people have differant levels and expectations .... if you consider pure security, let me assure you that the free SME Server Linux ( from E-Smith ) is far far better than Debian or SlackWare is ..... but for people who are PARANOID .. i mean really PARANOID ... its for those people that i recommended EnGarde ...ofcourse i cant say EnGarde is better than Tristix or SME or
some other distro ... but yes they are DEFINATELY better than debian or slackware because of the way they take care of various things. You would not need OS like EnGarde if Admins take care and efforts to secure their distros!

Vipul.

Sure there are security holes in the kernel (I presume that that's what you mean by `Linux'). Maybe fewer than in applications, but there's nothing sacrosanct about the kernel.

You seem to be saying that cost == security. Sounds like a completely false argument to me. Debian is one of the more secure regular distributions going around, and it's free in all senses of the word.
