I use Slackware. What has security advs. ? Slackware ? Hmm. Little Red
Hats will PAM you silly because of this.
Anyway, I agree that a customized Slackware system is more solid than any
RH. The most advanced security feature in Slackware is, that it has no GUI
or automatic system administrator short circuiting tool, such that the
sysadmin, who is the best security feature of any system, gets to do his
job mostly right the 1st time. And yes, it takes more time. So what. This
machine I'm using here was set up in January, and all I do is use it, use
it, use it... Ok, so I oopsed my mailbox once, so what ?

I might donate a 386DX33 box, 8 MB ram, 540 MB disk, with ethernet and
servers for email, http, ftp, and a NFS-mounted cdrom, plus email and user
shell accounts for 16 users, just for laughs (the ethernet is the
bottleneck in this case, so it won't really overload for these duties).
I'd like to display the *price* of this on the box (all built from junk
thrown out by a computer shop across the street from me) ;) ;).
It's still missing a few covers <G>
