Hello, I wonder whether it is possible to convert hardened desktop
box into box with non-hardened profile? I guess I would have to
recompile world with vanilla compiler (no hardening) and compile
gentoo-sources kernel (no prob with those), but how can I get clean,
non-hardened profile for portage (if it is even possible)?
Short answer: I have no idea :) But I'd like to ask why you want to
dump the hardened profile. Is there a significant disadvantage to
the hardening? I've been wanting for awhile to try hardening but I'm
basically to lazy to Just Do It(TM).
Virtualization is iffy if you're not careful which options you enable in
the kernel.
I've been meaning to as a similar (but reverse) question - which I'll do
in a separate thread later, but...
Your reference to 'virtualizationis iffy' above... do you mean if you
are going to run VMs on a hardened HOST? Or run a hardened machine as a
VM? I had a problem trying to switch my Linode VM to the hardened
profile, and ended up giving up on it...
