    (Due to trademark issues, Trusted Debian has renamed to "Adamantix".)

    I don't know what, if anything, Trustix does to claim 'security'.
    
    Openwall, on the other hand, I would consider a hardened distribution,
    even if Solar Designer doesn't have a mandatory access control mechanism
    in place -- his audited versions of software are significantly smarter
    than your average bear.
