7 Having a "tuned kernel" is a very subjective term - it depends very much on
8 your hardware (the cpu and others) and your intended usage.

16 What I would recommend is to get yourself a running system using genrkenel (if
17 you don't already have one). Once there, install sys-apps/pciutils so as to
18 have the utilities you need to figure out what drivers you need.
19
20 Use `lspci -k` to show what drivers are in use by your kernel. Alternatively,
21 you can check out http://kmuto.jp/debian/hcl/ which will try and detect what
22 drivers are needed by your hardware.
23
24 Another possibility is for you to try a Kernel Seed (http://kernel-seeds.org/)
25 as a starting point and make modifications from there.
26
27 Lastly, I've attached my .config (it's from a 3.12.21-gentoo-r1) with hardware
28 specs as per below. I don't claim this to be particularly "tuned", but it's
29 functional desktop and doesn't have too much bloat.
