The security people probably have more insight, but I personally run by |
| 15 |
default the hardened profile, also in combination with gentoo-sources if |
| 16 |
there were too many compatibility issues with the software I had to run |
| 17 |
on that specific machine. |
| 18 |
So, from my point of view there is no reason to switch to the default |
| 19 |
profile just because the grsec-kernel-patchset isn't open source anymore. |
