Regarding the bug-fixing, the Digital Guardian team has done a pretty good job. For example, they've addressed a bug in the Snort graph generation subsystem which would cause high CPU load. According to them, the users of EnGarde Secure Linux will just have to run the Guardian Digital Secure Network Update Agent for their system to be patched automatically and this way to get rid of the unwanted bug. There are also many other bugs fixed in this distro, such as Thunderbird's, which couldn't save an e-mail into "Sent" folder using IMAP, the bug caused by enabling PAM in sshd config which caused dynamic linker error or the fact that php5 upgrade didn't work.
