What would do it for me is to see Gentoo incorporate a server |
| 12 |
build that looked more like Trustix(.org) -- which is the |
| 13 |
most OpenBSDesque of the Linux distribs -- plus integrated |
| 14 |
the hardened tool chain of Immunix(.org). |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Some combination, for Linux servers, of Gentoo's already pretty |
| 17 |
aggressive nexgen approach (supervise/monit, ng syslog, etc) plus |
| 18 |
some of Trustix's security audit approach, plus Immunix's hardened |
| 19 |
tool chain would make, in my view, Gentoo *the leading Linux |
| 20 |
server distribution*, and I'd adopt it as my default server |
| 21 |
install. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Just my two cents. :> |
