Kernel exploits do exist. External attacks aren't always the ones that
bring you down. Not every single working exploit is patched or even
publicized.

Good way to alienate any possible supporters you may have. Many of us out
here have experience with classic hardware and software and current hardware
and software. In my last gig we used a couple different Operating Systems
and NONE were trusted out of the box, they were all hardened as some of our
machines lived in the corporate DMZ. Anyone who suggested that any OS was
secure enough right out of the box would have been laughed out of the
office.
What do you mean out of the box ? What would you do to a current Debian
distro to make it more secure ? You can't even install it without setting
passwords and no services are turned on. If you add services they are at
super paranoid settings until you adjust them so you can actually use them
for anything. The whole internet is running on linux now like it or not. It
is pretty darn secure as a server.
