Re: linux version

[Leo Security <security () fastmail fm>]

IMHO SuSE is the best. As regards security, thats something you will 
have to take care of yourself. All OSes are a bit insecure out of the 
box. SuSE is easy to install and configure. They have a configuration 
tool called YAST2 which is excellent. Its the most popular Linux distro 
in Europe. The current version is 8.1.
