Hello,

First, THANKS!!!

Huge Appreciation here!

Why use SLOTS?

Would u be willing to try using a hard mask?

When the grsec2 transition takes place across all kernels...

we can use grsec2 by removing the hardmask.

Anyone that want's to use grsec2 must maintain package.mask
ie.
alias realsync='emerge sync && diff -u /root/package.mask
/usr/portage/profiles/package.mask > /root/package.mask.diff && cp
/root/package.mask /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask && source
/etc/profile && echo "Maintaining Your Package Limits."'

Then update the box with:
realsync; emerge -uUvp world;
