How do all these small linuxen deal with security? I know that with
Debian, I get the best linux security going.
If you limit all OS/distros to able to run well on a small machine AND
have an excellent security suport infrastructure, then the field is
itself rather small. In other words:
Very tiny to as big as you like: NetBSD
Small to as big as you like: OpenBSD
Big: Debian, OpenBSD, NetBSD. (don't know about FreeBSD).
I haven't been able to find a linux of any size with as good a track
record on security as Debian (I don't know about the paid services like
SuSE and RHES).
