[Openswan Users] Best linux for openswan?

[Brad Chang]

Im not a big Fan of Redhat anymore
and Im not really keen on fedoras "release/support" path
I was thinking of useing the 2.4.25 kernel have you used this kernel before for
free/openswan?  it has the ipsec built into the kernel so I dont have to patch
it.  yah I like apt its a great tool :-)
