OT: NSA story keeps getting bigger...

[keith smith]

How do we resolve this backdoor issue.  Not everyone has the time or expertise to roll their own.

I'd love to do LFS however I do not currently have the time.

You know what is interesting, I decided to use Ubuntu because selinux
was not installed by default. I do my installations from the mini disc
and install what I want, so I cannot say the desktop versions do not
have selinux by default.

anyway, I felt safe because it was not Fedora, which has it installed
by default. Then a few months ago Ubuntu announced they are the
official distro of the chinese government. So now Ubuntu is out!

I'm going back to my LFS system, which I am rather positive does not
have selinux isntalled.
