I read this today, too. Quite interesting, but it leaves me asking a |
| 17 |
simple question... |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
I've been running my servers for years on hardened Gentoo, but I always |
| 20 |
figured it would be too problematic for my deskside and laptop machines. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Is this true? Have things gotten better, and is it perfectly reasonable |
| 23 |
to run hardened Gentoo for general purpose use? |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Two problem factors... My family likes YouTube and the like, and for my |
| 26 |
job I have to run proprietary binary-only software. (Silicon CAD tools) |
| 27 |

Thanks, |
