I've heard plenty of good things about Bastille Linux, and I even
remember reading some of the authors writing.  He knows his stuff, IMHO.
I don't actually use the software though (I'm a Slackware guy.. used to
be a SuSE guy).  

A great source for security information is BugTraq.  It isn't linux
specific, but the holes in Linux will pop up there.  However, there
isn't really a tutorial on security there.  Most posters assume that you
know what they are talking about.  I've learned a lot from it, and it is
a great resource for keeping up to date on security holes and issues.
You can find out more at:
