Probably not a good idea, there are known exploitable holes in 2.6.27 era kernels and nobody maintains anything that old. I guess RHEL/Centos might work for you. I've not had any problems with leaks in 3.6 but there have been a few reports and its clear that some obscure configurations trigger something bad. Gnome 3 on the other hand leaks like a sieve. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
