I'm using hardened-profile and hardened sources for many years on a stable gentoo system. I don't have any binary packages installed. Everything works fine. No headache and no suicidal tendencies so far. There is a ML for gentoo-hardened (gentoo-harde...@lists.gentoo.org). I think it would be a good idea to ask the guys there, because some of them have a very deep knowledge of the underlaying technique. -- Regards wabe
