root access in Linux 6.1 is relatively easy. So if you are looking for
security then I suggest you go for SUSE or Debian
BTW I use RH 6.1 so RH guys don't flame me.

| Hey Linuxers,
| Seems like ILUG-BOM is really undergoing changes.
I
| would also like to volunteer in anyway i can. I am currently using RHL 6.0
| as a training tool in C & Perl programming and network fundamentals. But
of
| late i have heard that RHL flavor is prone to massive security
loopholes...
| Anyone cake to explain? .... Also i would like to know which is considered
| to be the most stable & secure (high priority) flavor of LINUX (no flavor
| wars intended). I am looking forward to starting a BBS and require
| suggestions for good BBS software under LINUX?
|

| Jay Shah
