Hi, |
| 13 |
Confirm all of the above, just to add a comment. |

My current kernel (gentoo-sources-2.6.16) works with a PaX patch w/o any |
| 15 |
issues. Had to apply it manually though (resolving a reject by some of |
| 16 |
the gentoo's additional patches). Apply cleanly on vanilla-2.6.16. |

PS:note however that is just a part of all hardening so if in need |
| 18 |
choose one of hardened-sources projects. |
