With FC2 came bigger changes and until all edges are round FC2 certainly can make more problems in some constellations. RH8 is fairly outdated and if you do not pay much efforts and time to keep your system bug free you will more shortly than in the long run have someone else on your system being root too. Actually there are very much hosts running older Redhat releases compromised. Nearly each of the hosts which tried my SSHD for a weakness were rooted older Redhat system (from 6.2 up to unpatched RH8 and RH9). I can ensure you, attackers know about systems being in an unsupported state and how to use the weaknesses. I am running FC1 since late 2003 on a remote, co-located machine, acting as a server with virtual domain hosting for web, mail, mysql and can swear it is very solid and as much reliable as I counted the Redhat 7.3 release. The only downtimes the machine had were when rebooting with a new, security bug-fixing kernel.
