is that security hole that packet thing , shit i forget the name, it was
in 2.0.35 then backed out of .36 because of compadiblity issues ?? please
specify the hole..i use 2.0.36+securelinux.  am testing 2.0.38+ow4
(http://www.openwall.com/linux/) as a replacement for
2.0.36+securelinux.  i am very satisfied with the performance and
stability and security of 2.0.36+securelinux (my kernel is about a year
old).  i expect 2.0.38+ow4 will give me similar satisfaction.
