Re: [gentoo-hardened] Tin Hat 20090119 released

Eh, its not like there is a ton of volume on this list.

On a side note, I think a stripped down version of tin hat linux would be
really cool - something around 300-400megs (so it could run very nice on a
system with a gig of ram).  Personally if I'm going to sit down at a foreign
machine all I really don't need openoffice or even gnome (fluxbox 4life).

Would the maintainers of Tin Hat be interested in some dev work to achive
that?

(if yes I'll jump on their mailing list as not to bug people here)
