Perhaps one of the gentoo devs will package up a secure, minimal gentoo image that we can use, via a container or vm or as a snappy.... Keeping it on a usb drive for insertion and removal, would go a long way creating flexibility of usage and keeping it offline when not at use is also keenly wise, imho. Kinda like a ghost image. > My biggest curiosity at the start of this was if using VPN would help. The same dev that brought us TinHat, maintains a VPN package that might be what you are looking for:: net-misc/tinc > Still, using Linux is likely the biggest bonus. I would not count on using linux to be any measure of security, as most of the worlds finest hackers use linux, critically, in their attack vectors, so those linux distro's have been thoroughly parsed for vulnerabilities. The best hackers compromise systems for years and years and you never know they are there..... The best hackers never strike until they can substantially wipe-out your (financial) resources. caveat emptor, James
