I've ended up using Engarde, which is Debian with SELinux, very up to date. It's open source but not free for commercial use. Needed a bit of hacking to get it all right, but overall very impressive.

cheers,
Peter.

I need to use a "secured" Linux, but would prefer a Debian based

Oops, missed out on that one.
I did use astaro, but that's a dedicated firewall solution and not what you
want.

The German IT magazine "c't" has developed a hardened Debian based server
distro (free download from their web site), but it's all in German

An excellent starting point would be http://euronode.org/- unfortunately the project had almost no activity for the past 18 months, and upgrading via apt-get breaks much of the mail server, virus scanning and even firewalling
setup

Still, euronode is probably your best option, reckon it would take a whole week to bring it up to date & fix all the outdated scripts / configurations,
but then you have *exactly* what you really want and need

What I do: I have all my home hosted servers behind a Linksys RV042 and only
forward the relevant ports
