You are referring to the known kernel exploits, fixed in recent kernel
updates?  Or to the cobalt patches?

2.6.30.5 diffs are available.  Put that together, that issue would at

I am also trying to decide what to do with my Qube3.  Ubuntu or Debian
are options, but it would be fun to keep it CentOS.
