I'm a fairly new gentoo-user, and I subscribed to this list thinking: "Great, I'll be notified if something really serious, like a kernel root exploit, happens!". I understand now that this is not the case, but that many like me thought it was, or are wishing it were. "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" like Cameron describes it is exactly what I was looking for. If technically possible, please create it! Thanks, /Johan -- [email protected] mailing list
