There's a list of supposedly "secure" Linux distributions here: http://www.linuxlinks.com/Distributions/Secure/ . On the BSD side of things, OpenBSD seems to be the popular one where security is concerned.

Keep in mind though, that no matter how "secure" your operating system claims it is, the weakest link of all security is you as the user. Remember, it's your job to keep updated with the latest security vulnerabilities for the software you use, have a proper firewall in place, and implement proper security policies for the system. You can have all the security in the world in the base system and still have a screwup because of a security hole in an application you installed.
