Guest kuchwas Posted January 6, 2004 Report Share Posted January 6, 2004 It is good to be aware of it, especially if you are a major kernel hacker. All the good distros watch it closely (actually there is an ML) and will patch and distribute their kernels very quickly. Mandrake has an updates mailing list for all updates, including kernel. Those notices are on this board usually at the same instant they hit my mail box. (Some MaJik there!) :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarissi Posted January 7, 2004 Report Share Posted January 7, 2004 I am not a C programmer, yet I understood it. Of course, being around computers a long time helps. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
