Hi!
Thanks a lot!. Sent too, to gentoo-user =F0=9F=98=80=F0=9F=98=80=F0=9F=91=8D=
My main idea is to have an up-to-date kernel for having all the security pat=
ches=E2=80=A6. Basically that=E2=80=A6
I don=E2=80=99t mind not updating the kernel meajor version or so.. the idea=
is to have always a fully security patched kernel=E2=80=A6 not a new one w=
ith better hardware support or a more efficient one or so=E2=80=A6 just a se=
curity patched one=E2=80=A6

How do you keep in Gentoo the kernel properly security patched?
Cheers!!
