Re: [gentoo-user] kernel tuning

[Mark Shields]

Sane defaults?  Sounds a bit redundant to me.  You will have to tweak the kernel sources since your not using genkernel (my experience with Redhat is minimal, I assume they use a type of generic kernel?).  There's no way around it.  Short story, if you want "sane defaults", stick with the genkernel.

I've got a farm of 32-bit redhat 7 web servers that we're about to start

seem to answer is this.  Redhat kernels are supposedly tuned for "sane
defaults" and I've done no "tuning" at all on the gentoo boxes.  Using gentoo
sources and NOT genkernel, can anyone give me some hints about what I need to
look at?  I'd be very embarrased if I replaced older 32-bit redhat 7 boxes
with 64-bit gentoo boxes and the migration failed because I didn't change
some parameter to tweak these guys for apache/zope.
