I was looking at the website Vasta Stephen supplied > > http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/securing-debian-howto/ch4.en.html
I noticed that it recommends Bastille linux for hardening the kernel. I was wondering if I must choose between Bastille and GRsecurity, or if both can be installed. I was searching on the net, and it was not clear. users.ece.gatech.edu/~owen/Academic/ECE4112/Fall2004/Projects/OS%20Hardeningpresentation.ppt I was thinking about partitioning my hard drive, and running minimal linux with IceWM, and maybe another partition with Debian Lenny so I can practice securing a debian system. I am wondering if I can use IceWM with Debian Lenny. That is probably a stupid question, (seems obvious) but I am wondering also what are some other lightweight WM's that are typically used with Lenny. or are the WM's universal: eg.: http://xwinman.org/ Another question: What is the difference between a Window Manager, and a Desktop Environment? If I have a Windows Manager,like IceWM, then I don't need Desktop environment, do I? I know, another dumb question, but just a little clarification would help.
