Re: Kernel26 with grsecurity patch

Wow.

Very impressive!

I compiled my own kernel + grsec about a month back, but then I switched back to regular kernel26 due to convinience..  things like the nvidia driver being compiled for kernel26 and all..

Just a suggestion: Do a pacman -Ss kernel26ck   
All of those packages you'll see there for the kernel26ck kernel.. you (or someone) will need to package them for kernel26grsec
Otherwise people might not bother with grsec.. sad but true.

I've been quite busy with work lately, but I'll see what I can do at helping out with this.

*GREAT* work with the package and the wiki, though! honest - very nice.

You're right, If there will be an high number of votes, I can up kernel26grsec and _all_ related things in community. For now, users that need a driver need to compile ( or build PKGBUILD ) for it.

Thanks

I'm waiting the update; the last is for 2.6.21.5.

Very nice extensive wiki page mate

If my vote matters you got it!

It's good to see that people in this community is getting more and more security aware and that there's atleast the possibility of getting it in a nice bundle binary package.

Re: Kernel26 with grsecurity patch

Wow sounds cool.  I'll definitely use it for my server.  However, I was wondering how usable it was for a desktop?
