Default The most secure Linux?
What's the most secure version of Linux out there? I heard something about a "paranoid" linux, but I don't know any more about the subject. Anyone?

I would suggest SuSE Enterprise Edition. It is solid and secure, the best solution out there.

Have you guys seen what the National Security Agency puts out, this "Security Enhanced Linux" ? I wonder what your thoughts are on this one:

Security-Enhanced Linux

I believe the most secure Unix-system is OpenBSD. It's not Linux I know, but it is Unix.

Don't know about that, Lissa. Void, yea, probably a modded, custom Unix.

What, you don't trust No Such Agency to come up with a secure platform? (just kidding)

LOL, I'm only kidding. But heres the download if anyone really wanted to look at it. I'd be a bit cautious about it too.

Download stable SELinux release

I don't think I'll check it, being the noob I am, I'll probably get my fingers stuck in there, heh.
