Good day, |
| 2 |
I am in the process of setting up and configuring several Linux boxes to |
| 3 |
perform as application servers (apache/jboss/tomcat/etc). I am trying to |
| 4 |
put together the best kernel I can. While I haven't gotten a chance to |
| 5 |
install Gentoo yet, I do follow everything that is going on in the Gentoo |
| 6 |
world, as well as reading all of the insightful article on IBM Dev Works. |
| 7 |
My question is this: Can you give me any recommendations on patches that I |
| 8 |
would need to include for a server system while leaving out all of the |
| 9 |
premptible kernel patches (ie, Robert Love, mjc). I would like to |
| 10 |
incorporate all of the security enhancements and the filesystem read latency |
| 11 |
fixes (and more) that you have included in your linux-gentoo-2.4.18-pre3 |
| 12 |
patch, while leaving out the preempt stuff. Is that possible? |
| 13 |
Also, I see that there is now an mjc tree for the best preempt kernel |
| 14 |
available. Is there a similar tree that is compiling patches for server |
| 15 |
oriented systems? |
| 16 |
|

Thanks for your time...hopefully I can join the Gentoo movement in the next |
| 18 |
couple of weeks, after I deploy these new boxes to production. |
