Hehe:-) Ok, I will help you if you help me. I saw your e-mail
address and it seems you are working at hp. The source for alpha's!
I need more alphas!:-)) EV67 or newer would be cool. So you send me a
board and a processor (or even better dual) and I will answer your
question*BIG SMILE

No kidding! If you are happy with vanilla-source I think you won't
profit from alpha-sources. But it will contain almost the same thing as
alpha-sources 2.4.21:

- xfs (useless with 2.4.25)
- grsecurity
- usagi
- cryptoloop-jari
- superfreeswan
- uac_sysctl
- forgot something?

Where usagi and superfreeswan are exclusive

Additionally I will add acl's (ea+acl+nfsacl) to the tree, because I
think it's also a very useful security feature.
