So far I've been using Debian, does anyone know better?

Do you have a problem in securing your Debian system? Is this why you're interested in a different one?

Gentoo Hardened, OpenBSD or unplugging your Ethernet cable forever.

No, I'm just wondering if there's better than that. Oh and

>>4
Gentoo Hardened
Who reviews packages? Does the package manager use digital signatures? Can an evil package maintainer inject a rootkit in the system due to a crappy package review process? Do enough people watch over version diffs and patches to eliminate security threats?

OpenBSD

It's not linux, but really meant to be secure.
Or OpenVMS.
Or write your own OS.

I can tell you from my own experience, that this is a good idea.

Check my tail recursion

tail recursion is bad; it destroys useful debugging information. use iteration instead.

iteration is bad; it clutters up your system with useless debugging information. use >>18 instead.

naw, conventional debugging information is just bad at effectively representing tail recursion.

The whole system is dependant upon trust and reputation. When something malicious is detected, the community will react to the people involved. The community will judge the motivation of these people. Source code auditing is labour intensive but can be performed by anyone so if you don't trust the community, there's nothing stopping you from doing it yourself.

Question: Debian testing is just about to be frozen. Does that mean that for the duration of the freeze, the only way to get newer versions of packages will be through unstable?

There was a distro that painted your console dark gray and your letters light gray so that people would have trouble reading what you type over your shoulder.

I don't trust you; why should I tell you what distro that was?

you don't have to use the official debian repositories.

Name: Anonymous 2012-06-08 13:17

Non-official debian repositories receive less scrutiny from developers, thereby greatly increasing security risks.

just never plug in the ethernet and use truecrypt. that way you'll never get caught for whatever deranged shit you're doing.

You'd have to be crazy to trust TrueCrypt. Its developers hold their users in contempt.

Name: Anonymous 2012-06-08 22:03

>>27
It doesn't matter what the developers think as long as Truecrypt is free software. It's the users' own responsibility to audit free software when they don't trust any part of it.

B-but Truecyrpt isn't free¹ software

Why would you use TrueCrypt on Linux when more integrated solutions like LUKS already exist?

Name: Anonymous 2012-06-08 22:45

>>29
Well what do you know, it isn't free software. I always assumed it was but have never investigated it.

I bet the developers of TrueCrypt are a bunch of ratty Markus Persson worshipers.

By the way, calcium and calculus are derived from the same word (calx, limestone in Latin).
