At least in the current situation, people tend not to trust it. It's rather sad that it ended that way, I've been happily putting it everywhere for a long time when I was telling everyone that 2.4 was an unreliable crap. I hope I will never set the same fate to 2.4 :-/ If you're looking for updates for 2.2, you should take a look at OWL and PAX patches, both of those tend to include many security fixes, maybe they're still up to date, but I would doubt about that now. > -- > Politicos de mierda, yo no soy un terrorista. BTW, it would be kind if you could avoid gratuitous bad words in your sig. While LKML has a language of its own, it serves no useful purpose to raise the bar that way.

IMHO 2.2 info *must* be deleted from kernel.org _main_ page. -thanks- regards, -- so much to do, so little time. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread
