I'm really not qualified to measure up security for Mandrake against other
distros so I'm not gonna try ;-)
But it all comes down to this :
A distribution is only as secure as YOU make it...
Basic security depends on the install and distro. And for Mandrake security
is pretty good , especially for new users like yourself they've implemented
security scripts that change the security levels in a jiffy. It handles
services and file permissions and other pitfalls of security.
Just read "man msec" and you'll understand it more ;-)
If you're really paranoid you're gonna need to get dirty and fiddle with
every port/service/package that poses a possible threat.
