Last week, I've found out that Fortress Linux has released a secure Linux OS that is called the "Secure Browsing Edition". It only includes a hardened web browser.
This browser has a smart protection system against evil scripts and cookies. And it seems to be the only browser that forces TLS 1.2/SSL 3.3 encryption, while all the available web browsers in my Ubuntu install only use TLS 1.0, which was cracked recently. (Google for TLS cracked). Besides, I don't trust Ubuntu anymore after my system was infected by a root-kit last week. Rather go for a live system like this one.
I now use the Fortress Linux secure browsing edition to do my online banking and more. It's fast and it has an "Apple" look window manager. It boots in a matter of seconds.
For some reason I cannot post an URL, but their website is:
www fortresslinux org
Maybe someone else could provide the link here.

NAME
hpsmh - starts or stops the HP System Management Homepage server
SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
The HP System Management Homepage is the management server for web-based System Administration tools. In order to use HPSMH, start a web
browser on your desktop or workstation, and type in the URL or Address of the server to be managed:
By default, the HP SMH management server under HP-UX only starts on demand. It does not run continually. A daemon listens on port 2301 to
start an instance of the management server. The above URL automatically starts the management server, then redirects your browser to the
secure port from which to login:
The command starts or stops the HPSMH server. If no options are specified, displays the possible options.
Options
The command supports the followings options:
Starts the HPSMH Server if is not currently running
Stops the HPSMH Server
Access Control
By default, only the root user can login to HPSMH. Within HPSMH you can configure additional user groups to have HPSMH access.
You must be a superuser to run the command.
Certificates
Installing HPSMH will generate an SSL self signed certificate. Because this certificate is self signed, when connecting to HPSMH your web
browser will prompt you with a warning that the certificate was issued by a web site, company or Certificate Authority you have not chosen
to trust.
It is possible to proceed by accepting this self signed certificate temporarily for each session. You can also view and install (accept
permanently) this certificate to avoid this warning in the future. HPSMH also supports installation of certificates created by a Certifi-
cate Authority.
RETURN VALUES
The command returns:
upon successful completion
if the command failed
