I believe that Mr. Raadt meant PAX by W^X. 
We all enjoy ascii art but I wanted to note that renaming somebody 
elses work is not so ethical.

so for the real thing please consider checking:

my linux box have 0 remotely exploitable vulnerabilities in its default 
install since the begining of time and space. thanks to segmentation, ASLR 
from the PAX project.

Thanks,
