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. Anthony
