Actually I just want a reliable and fast system which can be virtualized. I don't want to use CPU or RAM for other things that I really use. But this is not related to lfs, because I'm doing it just because I want to know how a distribution work.
I was just curious about the fact that a lfs can or can't be faster than another distribution (with same versions, configuration and hardware), but in LFS we do not use optimization with gcc (as it can be done with gentoo, for example, or with archlinux) so I think it will be slower. 2011/3/27 Ken Moffat <[email protected]>: > On Sun, Mar 27, 2011 at 10:37:33PM +0200, Julien BODIN wrote: >> Ok, I think I will do some benchmarks in proxmox (with KVM, easier) >> with a BLFS and a archlinux. >> I need a fast mysql database :-) >> (well, don't really need it but i want it :D). >> >> Julien >> > Why don't you use your time to *tune* mysql for your requirements ? > I don't have any interest in it these days (I prefer a different > database for my currently limited usage, and I don't want to get into > a vim/emacs type of flamewar :) but I can remember that a few years > ago I was reading several books on it.
