    Hi,

    I am setting up a internet available web server and am planning which version of linux I will use.

    I use Mandrake as a desktop system, but wonder if other distributions such as Trustix (www.trustix.net) or Openna (www.openna.com) offer better security for running a server.

    Does anyone have any experience on this?
    How well maintained do these smaller distributions tend to be?
    Is the increase in security worth the move away from a distribution I am familiar with?

    Thanks for any help on this,

    David.
