Sounds more like something paranoid types will want to use

While this sounds like a good idea, it probably is not a good thing hardening a typical workstation next to the point of uselessness - this is aimed more at critical servers and PC's which need to be protected more than the average PC.

Sounds like somebody scanned his PC and got in...

nope, my boxes are good and are not compromised, Though I think you would be a little mad to have a live Ubuntu box and not try everything you can to tighten it down. You boxes security is only as good as its administrator. I currently use tiger as well to tighten down my boxes.

It's South Africa boys. We kind of do have a reason to be paranoid...

Well either that or Gentoo. My vote would sit with Gentoo, then do a Bastille install on top of it.

I got bored of Gentoo ... years ago. It was cool back then.. its unpractical for me now :>
