They're also linked to SELinux and AES, but I guess those don't count. I seen some "security experts" on twitter and other places criticizing the RSA thing, what's funny is I'm pretty sure the algorithm has been public for years and they weren't smart enough to look or find the entropy math hole.. This also speaks volume for the talent in RSA..
I also seen a thing about NSA trying to get a backdoor into Linux kernel. This is retarded, why would you put a back door in heavily audited public source code when you can just put it in a binary driver that is so popular like Nvidia or Broadcom? I think a lot of industrial controller firmwares are also binary blobs..
Great time to use OpenBSD(a real open source software)

if we get a PB version for OpenBSD, I'll consider it

the compiled file with PB can't run without GTK installed , even compile w/ console mode
Though Fasm runs well on OpenBSD.
