Sure. But the system is up to date, emerge -uN world gives nothing. It's |
| 14 |
only the re-compiling of everything with a hardened gcc that worries me a |
| 15 |
little. If something might go wrong there, I would wait with re-compiling |
| 16 |
until I know I have physical access to the machine for a while, while |
| 17 |
most of the time I am away some 100 km from it. |

I must admit that I should know more about the hardened stuff, but I |
| 20 |
thought I'd start with the preparations. Configuring things like Pax |
| 21 |
would come later, when emerge -e world has finished on this slow machine |
| 22 |
(and when I have read all the howtos). |
