Well, security is definitely prioritised a lot with Debian - one of the
first questions it asks you is whether you want to install shadow
passwords. I haven't had any real problems with my Debian 1.3 then 2.0
frozen systems - with that superb package system it all works fine.
However, Red Hat is supposedly a lot easier to use.
