I think, the more linux users are out there, the less is the percentage who compiles kernels often. And often means once or twice a day. Most people use stock kernels. I think a "knob" that says "compile a lot" or "normal" or "server" or so would be nice. Especially because a server has very different need of swap, etc than a workstation. - -- Clemens Schwaighofer - IT Engineer & System Administration ========================================================== TEQUILA\Japan, 6-17-2 Ginza Chuo-ku, Tokyo 104-8167, JAPAN Tel: +81-(0)3-3545-7703 Fax: +81-(0)3-3545-7343 http://www.tequila.co.jp ========================================================== -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFBBc9qjBz/yQjBxz8RAqrJAKDkBo7ZnYzWOqdXABRUPYUoO1ooSACffSnk uTERz/dQaEV1lSUsCEdsRhk= =EBxd -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
