  1. Re:Question - How many security options do we have on New Security-Enhanced Linux Release · · Score: 1

    You're confusing two different usages of "security" here. (And you forgot Bastille Linux, Blue Linux, Castle, & Openwall GNU/Linux as well.) And be very careful about using words like "ultra-secure". There isn't an ultra-secure Linux distribution.

    These distros are "hardened" to resist exploits and intrustions, mostly by closing holes in configuration and patching vulnerabilities.

    SELinux is =completely= different, even though the end result (especially to a potential intruder) is very similar.

    SELinux changes how data is passed around inside the kernel and between components.
