Esiste anche un gruppo internazionale che fornisce una singola patch crittografica per il kernel principale di Linux. Questa patch fornisce il supporto per una serie di sottosistemi crittografici e caratteristiche che non possono essere incluse nel kernel principale per limiti di esportazione. Per ulteriori informazioni visitate la loro pagina web presso: http://www.kerneli.org
Dato che il codice sorgente di Linux è disponibile a tutti, è ampiamente personalizzabile, al punto da rendere possibile, in fase di compilazione, l'esclusione di codice non strettamente indispensabile. La flessibilità di questo kernel lo rende adatto a tutte quelle tecnologie embedded emergenti e anche nei centri di calcolo distribuito (cluster Beowulf) fino ad essere incorporato in alcuni videoregistratori digitali e nei telefoni cellulari.
Gli ultimi aggiornamenti di sicurezza ritenuti importanti (in dettaglio) riguardanti l’ultima versione del kernel Linux (3.0.0.16.19) sono stati rilasciati com’è abituale da Canonical nel suo bollettino settimanale e quindi pronti per l’installazione (manuale o automatica) nella vostra distribuzione Ubuntu:
