Security Question

[John Gedeon <jgedeon@qualcomm.com>]

Hi all,

 I have Debian installed on my home computer (3.0 stable version) I want 
to use it to remote login in to work, however the people in charge of the 
remote logins (IT) at my work say that Debian has lots of security holes. I 
was wondering what security holes Debian may have (especially in comparison 
to Red Hat) if any. And if any of those cannot be taken care of. They also 
claimed that Debian isn't stable in comparison to Red Hat, Is Red Hat more 
stable? From what I have read and understand Debian is very stable and 
secure (at least it is equivalent in security and stability to Red Hat). Is 
this true?

  I am asking for this information so that I have more backing when I tell 
the IT people here that Debian as good if not better than Red Hat. I would 
prefer to use Debian.

Thanks for any help.
John
