Rolling Distributions (or how I came to love Gentoo)
,----[ Quote ]
| After wiping my drive I started the installation which went very smoothly.
| For the first day I spent a lot of time reading about portage and learning my
| way around Gentoo. After the first week I was more than comfortable with it.
| The most exciting part of it for me was being able to keep my system update
| to date and built the way I want with little effort. Packages built for
| traditional distributions are precompiled and built against libraries and
| feature the developers of the distro have chosen. So say for example âDistro
| Aâ builds âPackage Aâ with features that rely on âLibrary Câ and you want to
| use it without those features then youâre out of luck as far as packages go.
| Gentoo allows me to decide how my packages get compiled. From compiler
| optimizations to enabled features I stay in control of everything.

Making Gentoo Even Harder: 64-bit Hardened Gentoo
,----[ Quote ]
| Now that you have a spiffy new Hardened Gentoo AMD64 laptop, its time to show
| off to your friend. I suggest app-admin/paxtest in 'blackhat' mode, or this
| script from the trapkit blog (which requires dev-libs/elfutils).
