So, Given the output below, is there any real benifit to compiling a custom kernel with an amd64 machine type (performance gains?), and given that this server will be a Web/Email/Mysql server? you can trim out all the unused drivers to slim your kernel down, or there may be other kernel options you want to use that are not in the GENERIC kernel. but for what you are using it for, there's no harm in just staying with the GENERIC kernel. -Sean ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
