Hardened Gentoo is *very* important and I think the team would appreciate |
| 17 |
knowing where their work ends up: Besides being the basis of Tin Hat, |
| 18 |
it is |
| 19 |
also the basis of another project of ours (tor-ramdisk) which uses a |
| 20 |
uclibc |
| 21 |
(not glibc) based hardened gentoo environment to securely house a tor |
| 22 |
relay. |
| 23 |
Three of our production servers at D'Youville College are hardened gentoo |
| 24 |
(virtual.dyc.edu, moodle.dyc.edu and project.dyc.edu) as are a couple of |
| 25 |
internal servers. I use hardened gentoo when I teach my security course |
| 26 |
to demonstrate various hardening techniques. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Clearly, we are heavily invested users. Yes, keep hardened Gentoo vital! |

Thanks Gordon. On another note, I am wondering if you and the other |
| 45 |
team members |
| 46 |
have any thoughts about PaX/Grsecurity possibly being dropped |
| 47 |
upstream. I hate |
| 48 |
to see harndened gentoo without it, but there may be no choice. |

We were already discussing this for the reasons you mention. |
