In addition, ppl say UNIX is more secure and robust than linux. On what
basis is this said. Is this again related to the code used in various apps
used in UNIX. If two servers, 1 UNIX, 1LINUX are being used to host web
server. Where does one score over the other.

Subject: Clarification on Distros
To: ILUG-C <ilugc@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Hi,
I would like to have clarity on what the real difference is between
different Linux Distros. What exactly makes one better than the other.
Do the distros have differences at the kernel level itself.
Is it only the applications packages that are included that make the
difference.
How does one distro be more secure and/or robust than the other. Is it that
the codes used for applications (iptables, apache etc etc) is different.
Are distros like Debian more secure only because they have fewer/no GUI
apps.
I hope I could explain what I am looking for. Would request your advise on
this.
Regards,
Ashish
