Tight Security And apt-get: Trusted Debian Project

Posted by timothy on from the swirling-padlocks dept.

kcurrie writes "There is now a Trusted Debian project available. This release installs over a stock woody installation, and includes PaX (non-executable data section kernel patch), IBM stack smashing protector patch for GCC and a ton of recompiled programs (BIND, Apache, Postfix and OpenSSH included) that take advantage of this. Running 2.4.20, it also includes the latest Snort and FreeS/WAN support.

    Interesting, though I'll wait until I can apt-get it.

    I'm still shaking from the horrors of using Ximian as a deb source.
