1 Sabayon has a hardened kernel and emerge as well as binaries.
2
3 Is it possible to reduce compilation for hardened gentoo by using
4 Sabayon and how close to hardened Gentoo could I get.
5
6 I am currently using arch and I am happy with the timely package
7 updates, however I am not happy with the move to systemd and prefer
8 Gentoo's position of user power to Arches upstream and dev power. This
9 lack of synergy with myself has surprised me as so many devs list
10 OpenBSD as a favourite OS. Opera failing to start with mprotect enabled
11 is also pushing me to migrate sooner with the final push being a panic
12 today in init just after freeing kernel memory by
13 CONFIG_GRKERNSEC_KERN_LOCKOUT introduced in either 3.2.33 or 3.2.34.
14
15 Do you use stable or unstable sources and so firefox 10 or 17 and which
16 gets updates first?
17
18 Would you say firefox/chromium is usually available to emerge within a
19 couple of days of release on mozilla.org?
20
21 Do you think a migration from arch will have more than a small learning
22 curve as my available time needs to be kept to a minimum at the
23 moment?
24
25 Thanks, Kc
