I know. This is, I suppose, a philosophical difference. Most Linux gurus
recommend running customized kernels. I've played in that arena and feel
comfortable there, but still hold to several benefits of running canned
kernels. The main benefit is upgradeability... If there are security

I see benefits both ways, but in my attempt to remain corporately
responsible I must tip my hat to canned kernels.
canned kernels are great if:
you don't run a specialized system (i.e.,

Cisco wireless cards out of the box just fine. I'm not saying that there
aren't drawbacks to both approaches, but the approach I believe most
fitting to mainstream server installs (at least in Corporate America) is
