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.
