Aren't you going to improve overall system performance in the sense that you don't eat up ram with stuff you don't need compiled into it. Why have NVidia modules compiled into the kernel if your running ati etc.

I'm a bit skeptical about whether non-distro kernels will make a noticable difference - if anyone has examples, I'd appreciate hearing about them. regards, mark hahn. _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf@beowulf.org sponsored by Penguin Computing To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf@beowulf.org sponsored by Penguin Computing To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
