That doesn't make it hack proof, but does mean that hacks won't survive
a reboot. Then again, neither will any custom configuration you put
into it unless you burn a CD/DVD with the filesystem after you make your
changes. The only truly hackproof system is one with the network cable
detached, power turned off and HD removed/smashed... Not very useful
though, is it...
