I'm wondering what Linux distributions would be most secure or least affected by a massive cyber-war. If there was ongoing cyber-war that targeted banks and other critical infrastructure, so much so that people would be left with no money and possibly unable to heat their homes for months, what Linux distribution would survive the best under those circumstances? I've been using Ubuntu, but if Canonical has to cut its workforce substantially then they might not push out the fastest security patches and updates, which would be critical in that kind of environment. I was thinking Arch Linux might be better suited, because it's more community driven and rolling release.
I want to know because if large websites go down, then we (Server Admins) will need to be there to supply critical cyber infrastructure to those who can still get on the Internet. Lines of communication are always key in wars.
