Hi, One of the issues has to do with how RedHat installs/installed programs with default settings that werent secure. It was either easy-to-install-and-use(low security by default) or easy-to-install+secure-your-box. Since it is/was(not used it for past month) so easy to install, it tends to find acceptance with the average Windows-to-Linux convert, which is a good thing as long as you arent going to run it as a server or connect it to the Internet.
