Red Hat vs Debian Linux: overall security

Subject: Red Hat vs Debian Linux: overall security
Date: 27 Nov 2006 17:44:30 -0000
I am evaluating the overall security of Red Hat linux vs Debian.  I've been 
told that Debian has many more vulnerabilities than Red Hat.  I've also been 
told that Red Hat is quicker to release security patches than Debian is for the 
"stable" release.  Can someone point me to a good overall assessment of the 
two?  Using this tool: www.securityfocus.com/bid  I see that Debian has 17 
pages worth of issues but Red Hat has surprisingly few.  Am I misinterpreting 
the results from this tool?
