Well, I still don't get the meaning of the word cheap here, but I
guess I can live in blissful ignorance.

Sorry, now I'm completely lost. I do believe Debian is secure, as
secure as any regular Linux distribution, more secure than most, and
definitely more secure than Winduhs.

Trustix is fine, NASA's security-enhanced Linux is fine, enGarde is
fine, Kaladix is fine, Smoothwall is fine, I guess there're dozens
more Linux distributions that have been security hardened. Are you
making the point that making that `regular' `vanilla' Linux
distributions aren't secure as specially-hardened Linux distributions?
I guess you are correct then.
