Nevada is simply Sun's distro of Open Solaris.
i don't feel safe when i can't build any tool form source
I honestly believe that that is an extremely dangerous positoin to take,
and one that many take in ignorance. Are you saying that you check the
tools line of code by line of code before you build anything using them?
I'd be very surprised.
Also, have you had a read of Ken Thompson's Turing Award ACM paper
entitled "Reflections on Trusting Trust". It is an eye opener for those
who believe that "having the source" is the be all and end all of
trusting software. You can find a copy of the paper at
