No trying to start a religious flame war or anything, but why not OpenBSD? I've thought about doing the same thing in the past; make a very secure Linux box, but it seems that it would be less work to do the same with OpenBSD, especially with the relative amounts of patches released for each OS.
Concerning IRC: can't really do that much nowdays with my day job. Sometimes I'm behind a firewall at a client's location and other times I just need to concentrate on working. I'm trying to limit my Linux activities lately to mailing lists on my own time.
