Redhat 7.0 was real flaky and had quite a few security holes, those have been patched in 7.1 it also features default security settings to help you secure your box for the novice user.

Essentially what it comes down to is that if you put an unsecured redhat 7.0 system onto the internet it will be rooted by a worm within a few hours at most. If you must use redhat then use at least 7.1.
