Probably, it's a matter of personal preference - like vi vs emacs <G>. From what I see modules allow you to reduce the size of the kernel and let you load drivers, only if you need them. However, if a module needed for boot isn't built in you have to use an initrd to start the system.
Personally, I build in what I need to boot (such as SCSI for disks) and then include the other SCSI drivers in the kernel. I put my network and some other drivers as modules. Sound is a module since I use ALSA. > I've been using linux full time for about 6 months now, but I haven't > found anything on the pros and cons of compiling the kernel with > features built-in vs built as modules?
