in reply to Secure Linux

I think that it might be better if some sort of LSA (Linux Security Agency) was founded - Governements (The American in particular (No offense there)) should but out of systems, which aren't theirs to interfere with...

The OpenSource community should well be able (if not better), to solve such security issues.

Sinister greetings.

    I don't think we should 'cut out' anyone from the open source process. If the NSA wants to make this available and follows the licence, I dont see the problem. The availabilty of the source code does make it easier to trust, and there is noone forceing anyone to use this. If goverments want to help thats fine, good code is good code regardless of who writes it.
