You are right, I understand this now, I knew the meaning of "vanilla source"
but didn't come in my mind that debian 2.6.8 for example is not vanilla
source but a tree based on vanilla including patches from debian developers,
sorry. I will follow Jacob's advice and I will ask in beowulf mailing list
about what kernel I should use. I am two days in linux kernel lists and I can
see that you work really hard here, so I won't annoy you again with such
questions.
keep up the good work, all of you,
Panos
