OpenMode By default openmode has Aegis enabled (its always present). Openmode offers you to have AEGIS_FIXED_ORIGIN export, so you can install any package that you like as com.nokia.maemo. But the negative side is that CAL is locked, so you cannot set your lock code. There also exists open mode kernel which has more relaxed aegis rules, it allows you to run aegis protected capabilities without you first enabling them for example with opensh. But still aegis runs in background. VS Inception Where as inception allows you to replace system packages with fixed hacked origin in secure mode. Aegis is still enabled like in all the other possibilities. VS Opensh opensh gives you all the capabilites, so you basicly have all the linux features available in secure mode.Aegis is still enabled like in all the other possibilities.
