18:28 < jeffdameth> rxr: hi. there is something wrong stated on the neo t2 page: bitbake is not proprietary or at least it is not non-free softare if that was meant
18:29 < rxr> no it was not meant
18:29 < rxr> proprietary in this sense means non standard, custom, not used elsewhere, just for that case etc. pp
18:32 < jeffdameth> ok i see. still it could confuse people i think

22:51 < Postal> Hello everyone
22:52 < Postal> I had a quick question if anyone is around
22:54 < rxr> hi Postal
22:54 < rxr> long not seen
22:55 < Postal> Yes
22:55 < Postal> I wasnt sure if you would remember me !
22:57 < Postal> Is your Distro CD a live CD that I could use to install T2? It has been a while so I dont really remember. I am looking for a easy to customize Hardened system.. for a server. Needs to be very secure. Can T2 do that for mw?
22:58 < rxr> yes, t2 can do that, like enabling stack smash protector, selinux or rsbac, randomized application addresses etc. pp.
22:58 < rxr> but you need to build your own custom target for that, most of this options are not enabled by default
22:59 < rxr> also the livecd would not include these features, and the last live cd is already a little older
22:59 < Postal> could I use a small gentoo install as the base system
22:59 < Postal> x86_64 target
22:59 < rxr> t2 includes some targets, and on each release we pre-built another one to provide a binary version of each over time
22:59 < rxr> as base you could also use the last minimal install T2
22:59 < Postal> What language are the scripts written in pearl?
22:59 < rxr> e.g. also install into a virtual machine
23:00 < rxr> mostly shell script, with sed and awk
23:00 < rxr> no perl
23:00 < rxr> highly portable and everyone can read :-)
23:00 < Postal> sed and awk.. the two things I have been puting off learning lol
23:00 < Postal> it is SED that scares me..
23:00 < rxr> lol
23:00 < rxr> well - sed and awk are only used rarly
23:00 < rxr> here and there to convert some meta data
23:00 < rxr> most stuff is of course in shell scripts
23:01 < Postal> good good
23:02 < Postal> every time i run a sed script I shudder.. its like "sed **Insert random punctuation here*** "
23:02 < Postal> ;-)
23:09 < Postal> so you would recomend I download teh CD then, do a minimal T2 install, then proceed from there?
23:09 < rxr> yes
23:10 < rxr> best read some of the T2 handbook which is available for free on the homepage (150p PDF) and soon in print thru LuLu on demand printing :-)
23:10 < Postal> I am reading now
23:10 < Postal> I am suprised you dont have a default hardened target.
23:11 < Postal> Having said that, the Gentoo hardened is a JOKE, and the LFS hardened is so beta, even I wont touch it
23:13 < rxr> well - new developers welcome
23:13 < rxr> I would happily commit a hardened T2 target configuration when you send it in :-)
23:13 < rxr> http://www.t2-project.org/startpage/
23:14 < Postal> HAHA
23:14 < Postal> i bet you would.. So I am a Computer Science student at Ohio Weslyean University now
23:15 < Postal> Last time we spoke I belive I was a struggeling teenager, asking you for x86_64 patches every day lol
23:22 < Postal> How is networking support on your live CD?
