content: I'd also assume that major distributions are backdoored and that if one cared that much about it one would have to go through major work to do a solid compile of one. EDIT: downvoat, is it because the beloved Linux and distributions cannot be criticized? I wouldn't choose any other OS/kernel, but won't lie to myself about the likely reality. I prefer the nitty gritty reality and juggling tradeoffs when making choices, rather than imagined black-and-white fictions.
