gen config as in general, most of the options enabled for a general PC.

Base for a regular kernel, qubes for a qubes kernel.

Yeah you get all the same stuff only in a nice ncurses graphical menu.

Honestly I don't really see a reason to compile a kernel but not compile
anything else unless for instance you want a bleeding edge feature or
you want to disable some lame shit like IPv6.

I hope some day qubes will have an easy-compile system like gentoo so
one can compile the base distro and all updates from source when
downloaded for maximum security.
