I am the kind of guy who would joyfully thank anyone calling me "paranoid" ;-) To me the idea of an exposed secured computer which at the same time is supposed to be maintainable is an odd joke. debian has apt-clone, but there are ad-hoc, case-by-case issues and lose ends when it comes to exactly replicating a software base which apt-clone doesn’t address. "The best of all possible worlds" to me would be: 1) using a live system such a debian live to expose my computer (they can’t mess with physical reality) 2) using apt-clone to sync the sw base to my actual computer (from which I removed any wired and wireless hardware components) 3) accordingly taking care of moving forth and back the corresponding directory branches of the individual files some applications keep to themselves In that way you would never risk exposing your work computers to the Internet. lbrtchx
