Is there a patch set for the 2.6.10 kernel that only includes security
fixes and no experimental stuff ? I am currently using a vanilla kernel
and would like to patch it but can't really find anything kernelnewbies
says that "ac" is stable but http://kernel.org/patchtypes/ac.html says
the opposite.
