Hi Noah,

> Most basically, I wonder if folks think this is a worthy idea. 

Another long-term Debian user here who normally doesn't post to this
list. I am very much in favour of this idea.  There is a lot of
information out there on this topic, but a lot of nonsense and flame
wars which discourage those who cannot orient themselves in the
terrain. Many people who might be inclined to trust Debian - knowing
the philosophy and culture of the project - might not know who to
otherwise trust in this field. It appears esoteric, and since the people
who seem to know seem to be fighting among themselves, many people
settle for apathy / do nothing at all.

Yes! And the outline suggested seems to me to be ideal. More or less in
that order ie. starting with threat modelling.

I wonder if Lynis and other auditing tools might warrant mentioning.
Fairly low-down if so.

Thanks,

Rob
