Well first of all I absolutely loved Redhat... until 8.0.  Hated what
they did with KDE, since KDE is my preferred gui.  It's what caused me
to switch from Redhat to Mandrake.  And I have to say I'm pretty happy
that I did.  (.0 is really nice!

As far as security goes, yes absolutely, you should password protect
Grub, as well as place put a bios password on your system and disable
booting from floppy and cd-rom.
