Actually, what I would like to know is - what happened to the "Secure"
version of Mandrake's 2.2 kernel ? is the 'secure' patches were ported to
2.4.3mdk ? does 2.4.3mdk contains no security patches ? does 2.4.3mdk
contain any Mandrake specific improvments ? does that means that using
2.4.3mdk is less secure then using 2.2.19mdk-secure ?
