They didn't really try to harden Linux.  Any exploitable buffer 
overflows are still there.  They just tried to minimize the damage
done if an account is compromised.

There currently isn't enough there to make me switch from OpenBSD
where I'm using it now or to install the Security Enhanced Linux
instead of OpenBSD on future platforms.
