Hasn't the NSA already done this? We see the product of it in SELinux.
No. SELinux is not a distribution, not even internally at the NSA. Nor is
it a complete security solution. The NSA describes SELinux as a good start.
But DoD does have at least one Linux based official distribution:
http://spi.dod.mil/LPS-Public_for_DoD.htm
It is called "Lightweight Portable Security". From the description:
DoD-approved means to enter the AF Portal, AKO/DKO, NKO, MOL, webmail
and other CAC-restricted websites
I expect there are others, this one is a very thin flashdrive bootable
client and looks fairly interesting, although it apparently supports RDP
rather than X for GUI interactions. It is freely available from the DoD
website.
