New kernel out (2.4.20, Nov 28, 2002)

[Doug Palmer]

If such a speech occurs, I would like to see what people recommend for
kernel config options in a couple of environments (server v. workstation.)
Like when is it better to compile stuff into the kernel or is a module a
better choice, and which stuff is _required_ for a secure system.

Many reasons:
1) security fix
2) security fix
3) securiy fix

I could give such a speech on such a topic if that is desired. :-)

The problem is keeping it simple *but* covering the depth I would want.
Rather a contradiction. :-/
