This review of EnGarde Secure Linux is fairly positive, though
the author notes that some of the security features centered around
the e-commerce applications of the distribution are limited to a US
audience.

“The security did appear to be high and the only
methods of connecting to the machine are SSL and SSH and you are
encouraged to set “strong” passwords for your user accounts. After
logging on to the web interface you are logged off after 15 minutes
of inactivity. EnGarde Secure Linux is a very powerful and secure
Network, Internet and E-commerce server that seemed a bit out of
place on my little home network but is definitely worth the $30
Guardian Digital charge for it. I would recommend it to anyone who
this type of server.”
