[gentoo-user] IntelĀ® Trusted Execution Technology - INTEL_TXT

2010-03-24 Thread Mick
Is INTEL_TXT needed on a kernel for a laptop? The kernel (2.6.32-r7) advises: "If you are unsure as to whether this is required, answer N." Although I understand the general principle of this, I don't know what impact it may have on day to day terms. (A healthy dosage or paranoia is OK, but
