Re: [POLL] need for an easy security HOWTO (+ operating system)
Would you be open to using the Gitian (https://gitian.org/) build method for the live CD? It would allow users to validate the distribution by having it built and signed by multiple developers. I can help with this.
Yes, I would be open to it. I didn't know about gitian, but I'm looking into it as we speak. If you want to help, my email is aiwk171@gmail.com, though I'm busy until Tuesday, so my apologies if my replies won't be as swift as they should be.
The donation I'll be sending is pretty pathetic, but it's all I've got right now or I'd send more, sorry. 
Anyway yeah, please do, it'd be really appreciated. If you were to choose a Linux Distro I'd recommend BackTrack, as it's a distro designed spesifically for penetration testing, and therefore, security.

Don't apologize, you have my thanks. And as they say, if 50 people contribute just a little, you still get a lot of stuff done by the end of the day.
I have to check how well BackTrack does hardware detection, since usability is more important than penetration resistance. It won't be meant as a day-to-day OS. I'll clarify when I have the time. Thanks to everybody so far.
