I want to create a custom linux iso with a few of my personally developed applications and distribute it online. I know Linux is open source, but does this mean I can legally sell the ISO? Are some distros better suited for this than others?

I have been using Linux for a while now and I have always wanted to know what makes Linux so secure. Is it because most distros are open source developed and the kernel is always being changed? Is the kernel always being changed? Why is Linux so secure?
PS- I love GNU/Linux!
Thank you everyone, all of the answers have answered my question. I don’t know who to pick as best answer, so I’m going to let you guys decide. Thanks =-)

Open Source software has been around for a long time now and it pretty much in a stage where it rivals windows in many ways, there have been tons of articles about Ubuntu,Fedora,Suse and many other distros. So why do we use windows and keep paying Microsoft for crappy OS? Ubuntu for example is way easier than windows to use and comes with tons of free software.

I’ve downloaded some distros in the past only to find myself unable to really use Linux for anything worthwhile, so I’d like to avoid that if possible.

Is it possible to put more than one Linux distros on a Live USB? And if you do, how do you choose which one you want to use at start up? Does it look like the dual-boot screen if you had a dual boot on your computer?
