Why another Linux distro?


Aren't major Linux distributions secure?

Most care to patch known security vulnerabilities which are "bad enough", yet do little to prevent vulnerable software from getting into the distribution in the first place

There're usually more than just a few pieces of software in a distribution which provide a certain bit of functionality, thereby unnecessarily increasing the risk

The number of vulnerabilities affecting each major distribution that hit Bugtraq is high, and those are only the ones which are "bad enough"
