Hi Ron, I'm not using Ex2k yet but from Active directory training, security groups can be used to provide access to resources (Shares and printers etc) and also for distribution purposes (Exchange 2k), whereas distribution groups can only be used for distribution purposes.
Like I said haven't actually used this in anger yet so peoples practical experience may carry more weight.
