Hi, I don't remind which kernel. but is was in the press for sure: USA authorities were given a backdoor in the kernel. Could have been 2.6 For security, fighting criminals whats however. There was absolutely no resistance in those days. Not any. Foreign countries began to develop their own kernels. In those days I was into floppy distro's on old kernels so did not bother very much. But I remember it well. Yes I am a veteran in Linux stuff, into floppy distros like trinux (cloud computing avant la lettre) John _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
