Re: Vanilla vs Debian 2.6 Kernels

This is what Alan Cox has to say about "vanilla":

     "Given that base 2.6 kernels are shipped by Linus with known unfixed
     security holes anyone trying to use them really should be doing some
     careful thinking. In truth no 2.6 released kernel is suitable for
     anything but beta testing until you add a few patches anyway....

     I still think the 2.6 model works well because its making very good
     progress and then others are doing testing and quality management on
     it. Linus is doing the stuff he is good at and other people are doing
     the stuff he doesn't."
