Our www is outdated use the wiki. wiki.sourcemage.org
thanks. Looking through it now.
I think most of the mirrors are outdated. The latest iso is 0.9.6.3 for x86
and there's an alpha version of an x86_64 iso I think.
thanks. (but btw, http://wiki.sourcemage.org/Download_Source_Mage
still says 0.9.6.1). So anyway, if most of the mirrors are outdated, i
suppose i can at least take a look at the official mirror at
ibiblio.org?
So i suppose for the x86_64, i should be looking at the isos in
http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/sourcemage/iso/x86_64/0.9.4/test/?
And if so, which one? And how about the "silver-thistle" isos in
http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/sourcemage/iso/x86_64/
- what are those for?

We only provide what's by default upstream... There are feature patches
that are applied optionaly but nothing on such a grand scale... Also spp is
built in with gcc 4.1 with a -fstack-protector and -fstack-protector-all
CFLAGS you can add to your custom CFLAGS list...
thanks. Although i think for complete protection, patches are needed
for binutils, and glibc as well.
That's about as much as I've looked into this.
thanks.
