I think that's like calling the American election at this stage :-) Oscar has not analysed every line of kernel code that his mchine runs, and even if he has he has never reported any of the security problems that this line by line scrutiny has shown up... He also doesn't seem to compile his own glibc which is a way larger piece of most machines than the kernel, what about zlib, termcap, bash, sshd? I'm with Jeff, I love compiling my own kernels and stuff and I think Gentoo is a great idea but I hate to see people justifying their use on the basis of incorrect information.... I think RH have more resources than me so I trust their kernels, I don't trust anyone as much as I trust OpenBSD and they still get the odd issue...
