Gazillion Changes : Removed pegasos-sources (merged into mainline 2.6), Moved win4lin-sources (Security issues) and grsec-sources (merged into hardened-sources) into the previously provided section. Added information on sh-sources, openvz-sources and uclinux-sources. Moved stuff around a bit to maintain alphabetical ordering. Added CC-BY-SA comment. |
