[QUOTE="Victor M, post: 1121143, member: 96560"] Why not give Qubes a try? It is meant to be a 'host'. And it seems to support more than just 3 distro's. But I haven't tried the other community supported templates. [URL='https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/templates/']Templates[/URL]. And Qubes is Very serious about security. Security is baked in during design phase. E.g. See here: [URL='https://www.qubes-os.org/news/2017/04/26/qubes-compromise-recovery/']Compromise recovery in Qubes OS[/URL] . And here: [URL='https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/security-design-goals/']Security design goals[/URL] [URL='https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/architecture/'].[/URL] While other distro's just touch upon 'being secure' just because everybody else is saying that their distro is secure. And they offer hardening advise as an after thought. Security is better when it is done in design phase. Yes, I have also read that Debian is a stable distro. But that is from a traditional sys administrator's perspective. More stable = less troubleshooting. But from a security admin's perspective, fast updates is more important. Fast updates = minimal attack time-window. Hence my preference of Fedora. So it depends on which role you see yourself as. [/QUOTE]
