Linux Distribution with auditing of packages


I have been out of the UNIX world for some time preoccupied with real life problems. I'm interested in getting a home system up and running, but having difficulties deciding on a base platform.

I am leaning towards a Linux, versus a BSD due to the tremendous amount of employers seeking people with that technology. However, I am attracted to the auditing performed on packages on the BSD end, particularly NetBSD/OpenBSD.

Is there a Linux distribution that performs auditing of third party packages? I understand there are some commercial distributions, but wonder if they are more reactive than proactive?

Thanks for your time and support in digging into this decision!

Regards,
stonee
