SubDomain is tied to the kernel version. We have prebuilt kernel
packages for our Immunix 7.0 kernel (2.2.16 + loads of patches +
SubDomain) in the updates section of the 7.0-beta tree. The SubDomain
tarball includes a patch for the 2.2.17 kernel so you can use it on
whatever distro version you want (I have it running on a Immunix 6.2 as
well as a RedHat 6.2 box just fine.)

FormatGuard is tied to the glibc version that Immunix 7.0 ships with.
If you want to use that version of glibc on your Immunix 6.2 machine, go
right ahead (some people here are doing just that), but it can be
tricky.

StackGuard hasn't changed since the Immunix 6.2 release.

Sorry, but I don't have any info for the CryptoGuard release date.
You'll have to pump Crispin for that one :)

Hope this helps clear things up.
