Hi, =20 I have looking at your distro and I am a little confused as to the kernel versions, basically we need a linux distro which runs from ram running on a 2.6 kernel. The changlog seems to reflect that older versions were 2.6 and you switched back to 2.4, is this the case? =20 cheers =20 Mat Hattersley T: 0870 160 0650 ext 2004 F: 0870 160 0651 =20 Vaioni Group Ltd 39 Leslie Hough Way Manchester M6 6AJ =20 The information transmitted in and with this email is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.

The development version has the 2.6 kernel. There are reasons we haven't moved to the 2.6 kernel yet. Heiko can explain in more detail if you're interested. - BS |

Since this is a waste of resources and a read-only CD is more secure, we decided to work of a CD. The development branch of DL uses Kernel 2.6, but we do only very little development there (but we keep the changes in sync as much as possible). The main reason for this is because of the many security and stability issues with the 2.6 Series. Don't get me wrong, you can actually compile your own DL 1.3 (the dev version) and use it. Just don't expect us jumping through hoops to help you. - -- Regards Heiko Zuerker http://www.devil-linux.org -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkQivw0ACgkQUcytMSbs+YUvRACdFbTwIxrJjAwfXzy7LrrXV3F2 Cc4An16CvxGVViP71sG1o/on6i2NGap0 =n9AT -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- |
