32 This sounds very very nice in my ears. I have a few questions though.
33
34 Will this work be done on Gentoo or are you planning to use portage
35 SuxOS?
36
37 An interesting thought here would be to have some variable set in
38 make.conf that if set only lets you install packages from a list of
39 trusted apps/version. This would be a very flexible solution. Since it
40 lets you have the exact same operating system on your workstation/server
41 while having a really secure setup on your server.
