What many tend to forget because MS and others have blinded them to the fact is that RH may have had more security alerts but outside of the kernel RH is not linux..the linux operating system is the kernel..everything else is third party...MS by their own adminission has windows tied into everything in the instlalation(IE, WMP..etc etc) and a flaw in one of these programs is a flaw in the entire system. BIG difference in architecture big difference in overall security...you cannot compare windows to a linux distro becuase the distro itself IS not linux..:)Yeah, I agree, but that was also a pretty steep learning curve and a lesson that e.g. Redhat had to learn the hard way. I believe in 2001 Redhat 6.2 had more severe security alerts that w2k.
