Probably. :) I’m also a home user and have broken my system repeatedly. If I’m not breaking my system, it’s because I’m busy with some other fun. Back when I was playing with PaX and Gentoo was less mature, I did sometimes ‘have to’ put flags of that sort in to get a program built with PIE, until I switched to the hardened compiler, anyway. I got tired of that, eventually, and now use the plain vanilla 4.1 compiler and standard executables. (As a programmer who likes handwritten parsers, I like the 4.1 compiler because it has a handwritten parser. :) ) -- Barry.SCHWARTZ at chemoelectric.org http://chemoelectric.org Free stuff / Senpagaj varoj: http://crudfactory.com (PDF) 'Democracies don't war; democracies are peaceful countries.' - Bush (http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2005/12/20051219-2.html)
