Do you think going from hardened to non-hardened is do-able? I'd like |
| 19 |
to do that with my laptop. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Also, I've got this with my server: |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
# eselect profile list |
| 24 |
Available profile symlink targets: |
| 25 |
[1] hardened/x86/2.6 * |
| 26 |
[2] selinux/2007.0/x86 |
| 27 |
[3] selinux/2007.0/x86/hardened |
| 28 |
[4] default/linux/x86/2008.0 |
| 29 |
[5] default/linux/x86/2008.0/desktop |
| 30 |
[6] default/linux/x86/2008.0/developer |
| 31 |
[7] default/linux/x86/2008.0/server |
| 32 |
[8] hardened/linux/x86 |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
Is there a difference between 1 and 8? I may switch to 8 since that |
| 35 |
seems like a more current one. |
