A default kernel is a very good starting point even for a web-server. Put in |
| 17 |
drivers for your network card and disk-controller and you are all set. If the |
| 18 |
server is going to be under heavy load then the WOLK sources might be taken |
| 19 |
into consideration. If you have to run a firewall on the webserver then you |
| 20 |
should have a peek at iptables settings as well. |
| 21 |
One of my best performance tips is to put the DocumentRoot on ReiserFS, in my |
| 22 |
experience it gives a nice performance boost. |
| 23 |
RAID 0 (if your hardware supports it) should give a boost as well. |
