Coming from Gentoo I wonder how do I keep openSUSE secure (e.g. for rootkits)? In Gentoo there is one repository with 11.000+ packages which are all checked for vulnerabilities and verified with shasum.
In contrast openSUSE has many different repositories (Packman, Guru etc). I assume these are trusted resources. How can I tell if these rpm's are tampered with? How do I safely use the gnupg key system for repositories? Is accepting these keys when adding repositories with yast the preferred way? And if so how can I tell these are the correct keys? What about rootkits? How do I protect my system for rootkits when downloading rpm's from sites such as rpmbone? And my last question; where do I find security information for openSUSE? Is there a news site or mailinglist with announcement about security threats and vulnerabilities? I ask these questions because I am planning to sell openSUSE 10.3 on retail pc's through my company. I want the make sure I get all the pro's and cons of openSUSE security wise before doing so. Thanks in advance!
