It seems pretty clear this Chinese guy isn't malicious, but simply suffers from untreated bipolar disorder--a mania episode is glaringly evident in the post linked above, which I'd read at the time on another list he posted it to. Regardless, as others have stated, never use a binary kernel or source from an untrusted entity. They may work fine, but it's not worth the risk to find out, especially given how easy it is to build your own kernel from vanilla or distro source. -- Stan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
