Security aspects of source-based GNU/Linux distributions
Original language description
The paper deals with the Source Mage GNU/Linux. Source-based GNU/Linux distributions allow users the maximum amount of freedom and choice possible. Instead of delivering binaries to users, the source code is compiled. This method allows the greatest control over the installed software. Any user can build his own unique system contained only necessary software. Software can be compiled with specific options and optimized for particular hardware, individual dependencies can be selected or deselected, security and optional patches can be applied. It is possible to review source codes of all applications, included patches as well as source codes of compilers and libraries. No needs to wait for someone else to provide a new binary package that (hopefully) fixes a security issue. You never truly know whether a security issue has been fixed or not unless you fix it yourself.
