Is it secure?
Not really, at least not the default configuration. The 2 biggest weaknesses I can think of off the top of my head would have to be that there is not even a rudimentry firewall installed and the initial root password can only be a numeric string of, IIRC, 8 characters. The fact that letters or punctuation aren\'t used reduces the amount of time needed to crack passwords by orders of magnitude. I\'ve seen iptables packages available, but I\'m not sure if you can use it without recompiling the kernel to include netfilter support. There\'s a boat-load of other security issues you could nit-pick about, but it really comes down to a trade-off between sacrificing usability for security. How many newbies want to write iptables scripts just so they can get there Z to sync? Not many.
