Trying to get back on A topic which relates to linux....

If you were charged with putting up a secure internal Web Services
framework on RedHat Enterprise Linux 6.4 for a financial application,
would you:

        "yum install tomcat6"

or, 

        go to Apache.org, download the sources, compile, and pray. 
        
        

No, this is not a trick question.    I've always just used the tested
supplied Redhat version which "just works".  But there are apparently
other opinions, just trying to figure out if they are crazy.
