        Grsec patchset brings some security features that i need in my
        servers, they are accessible for the clients via ssh and some
        of them gets hacked, they try to exploit the system and other
        things... and the project has patchet for the 3.1.8 kernel, but
        is a test branch, the stable branch is based on the 2.6.32
        longterm (http://grsecurity.net/download_stable.php)

        Indeed , but my problem now is to understand why still patching
        my kernel with the modifications of a CentOS 6 (just bnx2x
        driver) when i boot the kernel it still show me the old release
        version, the patch is applied but looks like that i'm missing
        some based on the firmware files that CentOS has on their
        kernel, thats why i asked you guys from the mailing list if
        there is some documentation that cold help me understand this

> good luck,

        Thanks Greg
