Get ready for this to change.  NSA is investing into SE Linux.  DARPA is 
sponsoring Namesys producing reiser4, which has lots of security 
features.  (see www.namesys.com/v4/v4.html).  FAPSI (Russian security 
services) is going to contribute plugins to Reiser4.  Don't know what 
the Chinese are up to, but it is Linux based for sure.  Europeans are 
moving to Linux for the defense departments, so that will inevitably 
produce European enhancements to security.....

Soon Linux will be far more secure, and the security technology will be 
cutting edge.
