Security-enhanced Linux
Another interesting concept.. ?
I can only ask why they have been working so long time on this one before making it public available? Is this distribution to be trusted or are there some "hidden" features in it ? Maybe it's only my paranoid twin who speaks out loud. I will atleast check it out when it's available for download from a public site and when there is a stable release available.

As part of its Information Assurance mission, the National Security Agency (NSA) has been involved with the computer security research community in investigating operating system security. Recognizing the critical role of operating system security mechanisms in supporting security at higher levels, researchers from the NSA’s Information Assurance Research Group have developed, and are making available to the public a security-enhanced Linux system.
Linux was chosen as the platform for this work because its growing success and open development environment provided an opportunity to demonstrate that this functionality can be successful in a mainstream operating system and, at the same time, contribute to the security of a widely used system.
