I have found that Red Hat 9 is more secure than win98 when both are freshly installed. I also learned that I have to add a considerable amount of extra software to the win98 machine to get it to recognize a DSL internet connection. This is not to say that I haven't added some extra software to my linux machine (including nessus), but I have to say that Linux is still more secure than Windoze.

I can agree with that assessment.  I installed my security tools with
the rest of SUSE.  I'd have to go out and buy additional software for
the 'doze environment - even for XP.
