I am currently in the process of making a new Linux destroy based on Ubuntu 6.06 called Shanira (Shaw-nere-ah). It is mainly for IT security, what would you suggest to put in there? I have a list of what I am planning on currently:

guarddog,ipkungfu,libapache2-mod-security,knocker,logcheck,nmap,
makepasswd, maradns, netwox, netwox-doc, pscan,spikeproxy, tiger, tinyproxy, john, cracklib2, gchangepass, libpam-pwgen, aircrack, aircrack-ng, airsnort, crack, crack-common, cracklib2-dev, cracklib-runtime, fcrackzip, medussa

By the way, I don't want to know your opinions about how good or bad Ubuntu is, if you want to see those, go to my other thread about a "New Linux Name". I want your opinion on the software, not the OS...please.

security as in pentesting or security as in hard to crack distro?

As in, built for a system/network administrator to secure it.

Ahh, so like a specilized backtrack?
yersinia, nmap, nmap-fe(for graphical), splunk, and wireshark.

OK-looks good! I will try those.

please study backtrack, it can give you many ideal.

Rather than creating a new distro, why not find a current project and work on it?

Why not find a current project? Because my team and I are halfway done already.
