If you really want to harden linux, by all means use PaX+Grsecurity+SSP.
PaX is better and mature than Redhat's execshield.. or OpenBSD's stackgap/w^x
But don't take my word for it <http://pax.grsecurity.net/docs/index.html>

There's a a hardened debian-based linux distribution called Adamantix
(http://www.adamantix.org) that you might want to check out, which
includes both PaX and SSP (though not grsecurity).

But do be careful, I've locked myself out of my own system a few times
using it :)
