I have looked over it and it looks really nice and I have other people say they like it.

The only reason I am not using it is because it needs to be run on a virgin install and when I contacted BurstNET about using it before they installed WHM/CPanel, they told me that CPanel needs a virgin install to work, so if I use Bastille, they may have issues with CPanel.

Virigin system? (Who comes up with these terms)

You can install Bastille Linux on an exisiting system. I have installed it on several of my existing RedHat boxes. I don't use cpanel, so I do not know those issues.

However, Bastille secures many admin commands so that only root can use them. If a web interface utility is running as the web server, then some of these commands may become unavailable, thus causing problems.
