Re: Question about kernel naming scheme

[Sander Smeenk <ssmeenk@freshdot.net>]

Quoting Ron Johnson (ron.l.johnson@cox.net):

I don't know for sure wat 'tsc' stands for, but additional "version
information" tells you what options are compiled in the kernel or what 
patches are used to create the kernel. Like this:

2.4.17-smp-ext3-grsecurity

Tells you the kernel is a SMP (Dual Processor) kernel, with ext3 patches
and the grsecurity patch.

Sander.
