To:	BUGTRAQ@NETSPACE.ORG

Hi,

Together with the kha0s and bastille Linux folks I've
decided that it would be nice to have a common mailing
list for the different secure Linux mailing lists.

Since friday night (CET), the list is there:
	securedistros@nl.linux.org

You can subscribe like this:
$ echo subscribe securedistros | mail majordomo@nl.linux.org

The main things we'll discuss on the list will be things
like bug fixes, code fixups and generic security ideas that
are usable in all secure Linux distributions.

For the uninitiated, here are the 3 secure Linux distributions
and their goals:

	Bastille Linux -- http://www.bastille-linux.org/
Creating a secure Linux distribution for on the desktop, the
main use being that network administrators can give out Linux
CD's to their users without worrying about security. Bastille
Linux will be using Red Hat 6.0 as their basis.

	Kha0s Linux    -- http://www.kha0s.org/
Creating a minimal and secure Linux distribution. Starting
from scratch, source-based and with strong encryption and
OpenBSD-like policies everywhere. They have a little bit of
code available, so this is good for the (impatient) tinkerers.

	Secure Linux   -- http://www.reseau.nl/securelinux/
Creating a secured Linux for (internet) server systems. This
distribution will feature something like a package system or
at least proper file accounting. Strong cryptography and
extra web server functionality will most likely be included
as well.

regards,
