Hi Jochen,

I suggest to have a look on Adamantix. It's a Debian-based,
security-enhancend distribution. It's only as pure as a basic Debian.
Just visit www.adamantix.org and let them show you why Adamantix can
convince you. I was very impressed and after some month having a
Adamantix box running, I'm convinced about its security and stability.

Just my two cents.

Regards, Christian
