In the recent LWN security overview, Debian was rated higher than Red Hat
for speed and other criteria. One advantage to Debian is that you'll often
find that you've updated from the security server before you find out about
the vulnerability.

Are you talking about kernel versions? The current official kernel for
Debian potato is 2.2.19. You can easily install 2.4 with a few extra
packages provided by one of the Debian maintainers. You can find a source
line for these in my sources.list [1].

I assume that Debian woody will include a 2.4 kernel by default - I'm not
sure though.
