Linux fragmenting at last?
Exactly. One thing that I always saw as great value in systems like
Portage is that a user who uses Portage exclusively simply isn't
vulnerable to most things out there. You can mount your CDs noexec, emerge
all of your software (which is MD5 hashed [and slowly becoming PGP
signed]), etc.
And while I'm still one of those punks that uses root for everything under
the sun (hey, I'm allowed to because I know my system), I'm glad that
distributions like Ubuntu are working to make people regular users on
their own systems.
Security is fantastic in our source code only world.
