Rick - Cobalt never claimed to use the latest and greatest they used
what did the job - most of the exploits that have come out in the last
few months have been related to pretty much anything but the kernel,
we've seen patches for some/most. If the RaQ does the job it was sold
for why do you want/need the latest kernel. If you want the latest and
greatest software then you have bought the wrong box go and buy a white
box server and install the flavour of your choice of Linux then you can
have what you want.
