I love my RAQ, though admittedly for non-Adult and not very high traffic sites. Still, every single page I offer up is PHP and MySQL driven, and never a single problem.

Most of the security updates are upgrading *nix tools that run on any *nix server, and would have to be done on any *nix server to protect it - upgrading/patching BIND, Sendmail, etc.

There is nothing inherently hackable on the RAQ's, in fact it is easier to keep them updated versus other servers. They've gained a "hackable" image because so many newbies, utterly clueless about security, manage and operate them. Give a newbie who's never heard the word "grep" before root control of a RedHat server and they're gonna get hacked.
