I would hope the Fedora isn't the only one that cares about security

    there are many distros with even better or similiar security as fedora. The least secure ones are Ubuntu and distros based on it, and Debian stable. Even less secure are any inactive distro. But in general, most distros can be hardened, some more, some less. Like i can harden my Android phone similiar to Arch's level. (yes, i also use custom kernel on my phone, the most secure one for my device)

    Debian? Insecure? It's only as insecure as you make it. The default minimal installation from the netinstall CD has barely anything running - not even SSH unless you explicitly select it during installation.

    Why do you think ubuntu and debian derivatives are unsecure?
