The security features provided in Fedora is probably the best that you 
can get out of any operating system.

Feel free to look at pace of security fixes being provided and check out 
how competitive that is to any other operating system. So the pace of 
security updates is not what I am talking about. My line of reasoning is 
dont install and add yourself additional burden over management of 
software that you dont use. Simple.
