As far as I understood, this stuff is based on 3rd parties and orgs which
didn't make it available for 2.4 yet.

Not the extra ones.

No.

Yes.
In any case, please let me repeat what I wrote in my previous response:
If you want to enjoy both of the worlds (2.4 AND security), the best is
to take 2.4.4 (with the latest AC patches because of some annoying bugs),
and apply the patches of Getrewted (grsecurity 1.0) into it.
Unfortunately, this way you lose the non-security patches of Mandrake,
and the kernel which comes with Mandrake 8.0 is 2.4.3, which is not the
one required for grsecurity 1.0.
So the question that I raised before, returns:
Where can 2.4.4 kernel WITH Mandrake improvements be found?
Or is there any patch which can be applied into the standard Linus kernel
that implements Mandrake additions?
If there is such a version, you can take it, apply grsecurity, and then
enjoy the combination of Mandrake, a 2.4.* kernel, better security, and
Mandrake improvements.
