Generally I like to build a monolithic kernel (no modules) with only the |
| 5 |
kernel settings i need (i dont think there is a great benifit in doing so |
| 6 |
but i've done it this way for years so why change). The less you add to |
| 7 |
the kernel the less likely things are going to go wrong, ofcourse some |
| 8 |
settings you have to have :) |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
what exaclty you will compile into your kernel would be based on what your |
| 11 |
requirements are, decide what you are going to need, and disable/enable on |
| 12 |
that basis. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
do you need ipv6, probably not. |
| 15 |
do you need ipsec, probably not. |
| 16 |
do you need netfilter, I would think so. |
| 17 |
and so on and so on. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
ofcourse if you have a lot of time on your hands you could build a number |
| 20 |
of kernels and see which one performs better. Generally I like the |
| 21 |
vanilla-sources as i've had problems with some of the others. |

|
| 23 |
best of luck :) |
