+kernel-mc README
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
+This patchset is Horst Burkhardt's "mc" patchset. 
+It is also the upstream for Adelie Linux' "easy-kernel". 
+
+This patchset is designed for compatibility with all distributions, and 
+is tuned for performance and memory consumption on all architectures. 
+
+It integrates some of the patches from Gentoo Linux' "gentoo-sources" to 
+leverage the bug-finding power of the Gentoo community.
+
+Unless otherwise explicitly stated, the resulting kernel should be 
+considered to be suitable under all loads and in all environments.
