I don't believe any distribution of Linux is inherently weak. When 6.2
was distributed it was up-to-date and if one had continued to apply the
various patches put out at (http://www.redhat.com) and mirrored at
(ftp://ftp.mirror.aarnet.edu.au/) then the answer is no. You should be
aware that all distributions - even Debian - continuously provide
various security patches as various security flaws are found...
