You should use the hardened profile with the harden sources. On terms with |
| 2 |
security you could compile a hardened kernel but you sacrifice ease of use |
| 3 |
by having to manage pax and if you choose an RBAC system like SElinux or |
| 4 |
grsecuritys adds more burden. |

Security isn't a product, so I would recommend sticking with regular |
| 7 |
profile with stable packages, and be mindful of what you have opened up to |
| 8 |
the internet. I would also recommend just reading up on linux security in |
| 9 |
general to understand what you're trying to make yourself more secure to. |
