Debian website says 2.4 is not really mature enough yet, does this mean mature enough security wise also?
I am trying to figure out what kernel I should use, for the next 6 months at least anyway. Security is my main objective, most other things can go to the wall if they conflict. But I would like my Nvidia card to work with a 2.2 kernel, and I would like to be able to use cdrecord/xcd-roast, and other goodies too. I need to be able to run XFree 4.1. I would like to be able to have sound, using a SoundBlaster 128 Live card. I would prefer iptables, since I know it has a LOG option to record all incoming and outgoing like a packet sniffer for my modem dialup connection - does ipchains with the 2.2 kernel have a comparable option? I want to see if when I log into my POP3 server if my user and pass is sent in clear, etc etc. I want to see everything passing on the wire. Can I use iptables with a 2.2 kernel? Given that I am super paranoid, maybe my old Debian 2.2r2 Potato is the best bet for me. Is there any reason why I may not be able to upgrade X to XFree 4.1 with this version of Potato?
