That's cool, but I won't bother. I was just curious the other day about
running a 2.4.22 kernel as I'm on 2.4.20-r7. I looked around and there
appeared to be six 2.4.22 kernels I could run:

aa-sources 2.4.22r1 
ac-sources 2.4.22r1 
grsec-sources 2.4.22.1.9.12 
gs-sources 2.4.22_pre2
openmosix-sources 2.4.22
vanilla-sources 2.4.22

vanilla-sources sounded the most benign , so I grabbed it and ran across
this observation about the Athlon AP. If they don't want to modify
vanilla-sources (to keep it 'vanilla') then that's fine.

I looked around and didn't spot any discussion of which one of these I
might want to run or why I'd choose ac-sources vs. gs-sources. Is there
a description somewhere of why all 6 are offered? Has there been any
discussion here or in the forums somewhere?

Thanks again,
Mark
