I am not very sure, but I dont think Bastille Linux is a kernel
hardener. Someone might want to correct me if I am wrong.
Just digressing a little, when I started working on Linux/Unix, I read
thousands of articles on "How to Hack", "Hacking for Beginners" etc..
These articles, now I realize, never taught me how to hack... but they
did teach me the basics of systems security very well. If you are a
beginner, you might want to check these papers/articles out. They
certainly helped me a lot. Though, your mileage may vary...
