I am building such a kernel package. One question that is raised here is: If a prepackaged kernel is supplied with modules and support for virtual hosting, firewalling, etc. how does that affect the performance for users that don't need such features? The one I am building is 2.0.29 for a machine which serves as a firewall, gateway, and virtual ftp/http server. The virtual apache can be handy even on a local network. I have used it before so macs, win, and linux clients could browse http://server/docs/ and websites could be emulated locally for test purposes. The caching proxy server feature of apache is nice, also. I would appreciate any input from people re what they need most in special kernels. I could also use a good www survey/voting package if anybody has recommendations. Paul Wade - Greenbush Technologies Corporation http://www.greenbush.com/cds.html Linux CD's sent worldwide
