RE: vanilla-sources vs alpha-sources

Actually, now that you mention it, I don't think the vanilla sources for
2.4.25 have uac_sysctl. That would be useful. The rest, I don't know.
Didn't notice. And I'm not familiar with some of them.

As far as new hardware goes, stand in line, buddy! :-)

Hehe:-) Ok, I will help you if you help me. I saw your e-mail address
and it seems you are working at hp. The source for alpha's! I need more
alphas!:-)) EV67 or newer would be cool. So you send me a board and a
processor (or even better dual) and I will answer your question*BIG

No kidding! If you are happy with vanilla-source I think you won't
profit from alpha-sources. But it will contain almost the same thing as
alpha-sources 2.4.21:

- xfs (useless with 2.4.25)
- grsecurity
- usagi
- cryptoloop-jari
- superfreeswan
- uac_sysctl
- forgot something?

Where usagi and superfreeswan are exclusive

Additionally I will add acl's (ea+acl+nfsacl) to the tree, because I
think it's also a very useful security feature.
