Actually, the security is not the same, although this largely depends on
what security level you select (customizable after install, I believe)--if
you select "medium" security, you are 100% locked out of the box except
going in on the console by default. With redhat, you don't have the option
to select a security level--it basically leaves itself totally wide open to
attack.
