I just don't think distro-comparison discussions are a good idea. They inevitably degrade into flame wars. As I posted before I think that one sees more RH-newbie posts because of market-share. A lot of more experienced users are comfortable with the other excellent distributions that they got used to before RH became so popular. I don't know of any reliable security-analysis whitepapers that shows that one distro is more/less secure than another. The thing is that once a user installs any distribution they can (mis)configure it as badly as they like or as well as they like. A Lindows box can be locked down securely by an experienced admin and an OpenBSD can be turned into a joke by an inexperienced admin.
