Hi all, Jerome, I would say that most 'users' will go to pop choice, like only some hardcore lovers would listen to "Tsjuder" but most of the people would go with "Lady Gaga". Same here, if you do not want to learn, you use *buntu or any "*" made of, else if you wanna learn and use stable and updated distro you will go with Debian.
I would still agree that would be nice to have some package which would do some hardening settings. BUT, please note, that it might give a false confidence. Why?! Because once hardening done, you believe that it is safe, but any moment by accident your perm tuning might change. Your hardend setup might not run correctly some app AND then tired user will do "chmod 7777 -R /" and a package will still remain. So if you want to ensure hardening is set and exist, make puppet profile! Run puppet all the time! And before running puppet check, have OpenSCAP test to check compliance. It has very nice compliance checks for different standards! Try it!
