Was going to compile the latest 2.6 kernel and noticed that I do not know what all the options mean. Especially the "General Setup" and "Processor Type and Features".

Thank you all for the advice. Here are more details of my situation.

Currently using Gentoo Linux 64bit as servers. Have already done kernels and they work. I wanted to recompile the kernel but this time to know what I am activating in the menuconfig.

In the past it was just to get the server up. Now I want to know more and activate only stuff that is really needed.

That is the reason for asking for more information. The help in menuconfig is too deep for me. Need more simple help notes about each option in "General Setup" and "Processor Type and Features" and their implications.
