Secondly, you've already answered your own question. Debian IS more secure than Redhat for it's DEFAULT INSTALLATION. However, you cannot expect any box to be secure until you personally go through and audit it: shut down services you don't need, remove software that is unnecessary or unused, etc.
Security is a POLICY for individual packages, it is not a DISTRIBUTION. Please read the Linux Security Guide at http://www.linuxdoc.org. Then do some research on your own. Use Google, http://www.google.com/search?q=linux+security and DMOZ, http://www.dmoz.org. -- ^chewie
