However, I'm actually going to reinstall it, maybe next week--was supposed to be this week, but you work in IT, you know how THAT goes--with a more minimal installation. These machines, web scrapers, are very heavily loaded, with a load, usually, of at least 7 or 8. We're also running 10 of them on this machine. (Semi-ironically, a Dell) So, when I put in the new one, I'll definitely use the virtual kernel.
