1. Is Alpine using the stable or testing branch of grsecurity? Given that they've closed the doors to the public - how is Alpine handling this?

2. I see it's an "unofficial" port of grsecurity - does it support the same features as official? Is there a list of supported grsecurity features?

3. ~~Is there a default kernel config provided - perhaps /proc/config.gz?~~ Can I easily compile my own kernel if need be?

4. Can I use Alpine as a KVM host?

5. How quick are security fixes rolled out? Is this an active and responsive distro?

Danke.

Here is /boot/config-grsec from my 3.4.3 stable system:

I am interested in any answers to your other questions but can offer no insights myself (n00b user alert!).

Thanks. I'll look over it in the next few days when my laptop is fixed.

PS I'm still looking for answers to the rest of my questions
