All, I just "googled" for "benchmark performance linux kernel i386 versus i686" and found nothing of any import. I am just wondering if anyone has bothered doing this. It would be nice to know what the tradeoff is between performance and convenience of not needing to know the CPU architecture. Using multi-CD distros I would also choose the closest matching kernel, but for my Ubuntu installs I haven't bothered.

More kernel bloat. Debian woody had most of the 4th CD taken up with various kernels. You can have a *lot* of variations in your kernel config, it seems... - Matt -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
