Secured vs. Security Distros and Wish Lists
While we're talking about which tools should be included in a "secure"
Linux distribution, I think we need to make the distinction between
between Security-Oriented distributions (such as Trinux) and what I
believe the purpose of this list--to created a secure (or better yet,
hardened) version of Linux. A hardened version of Linux would not (or
should not) contain sniffers, port scanners, password crackers, etc. while
a security distribution would.
