I am running up-to-date Kubuntu Hardy Heron, but...
kevin@alekhine:~/linux/linux-2.6$ grep SYSVIPC .config # CONFIG_SYSVIPC is not set
What software that would be in a standard install would be broken? I don't seem to notice anything...
Not that I mind the default being changed - I just wonder if things on my box are broken and I just don't know it.
