This seems like a good time and place to mention the goals
of the other distributions:
- Bastille Linux: a safe 'handout' Linux that sysadmins can
give to users on their network without worrying about security
- 'Secure Linux' (no name yet, please visit the voting page):
a secured internet server Linux system, including both extra
security measures and extra server functionality

Euhmm. It seems like Bastille Linux and 'our' secure linux
also have that... It's just that kha0s has some code, whereas
Bastille Linux and secure linux are still in the design stage.

Last night, I also set up a common mailing list for all
secured Linux projects. That list is specifically to
avoid too much double work and to share good ideas.
The list:
securedistros@nl.linux.org
Subscription:
$ echo subscribe securedistros | mail majordomo@nl.linux.org
