Ysgrifennodd James Hatridge:
Its quite true that the source is available, but two questions.
#1 How can I know that the software that I install is the same as what the
source is?
#2 How many of us Linux users would recognized a backdoor if he saw one?

#1. You screw your tin foil hat on very tight, and then you install
from the sources.
#2. You don't reley on Linux users, you rely on the Linux programmers.
They would recognise a back door if they saw one and many if not all of
them would scream very loudly if they found one. Unless you believe
that there is a conspiracy between the kernel developers and the NSA/MI6
or whatever. Remember lots of these guys aren't Americans.
But hey! If you want to believe they're out to get you, don't let me
stop you.
