There is also info about Security Enhanced Linux (made by the National

linux?

a lot of people say that. jokes about "backdoor.h" and such. the code is
freely available. you can't get more trustworthy than that, honestly.

so far, the only major problems i have sen are minor bugs and one buffer
overflow quickly found by the RAZOR guys i think, and i twas fixed the
next day.

anyhow, its worth looking at. or looking at HP's new secure OS software
for Linux.

enjoy,
