I disagree with #2. I rebuild my kernels even though all of my hardware is supported. I do it for the speed gains.

Mel, i can’t say nothing if it is (kernel build) interesting to you. But if you want just “all in my computer just works”, you can’t rebuild kernel if you haven’t anymore to do instead of just enjoy working system. )

This is actually a great book if you somewhat understand linux this is a good read very explaintory i think ive read it about 5 times over and learn a new trick here and there…

Kernel building I would say is almost a fundamental part of Linux… you should do atleast 1 or 2 rebuilds with in a year or so… Granite depending on your distro, as a long time Gentoo/Fedora person and have been between the both I actually have a ritual of rebuilding my Kernels alot esp because i like to work with alternative Arch’s.

>.> so… I actually disagree with your “dont do this” attitude because the only way you do Learn is by so to speak “Screwing the Pooch” a few times.. God knows ive done it more then a dozen times… Plus who likes vanilla/Generic Kernels?

Pfft thats why were not microsoft…

Erek, yes, i agree this. ) But it is old windows logic – software must be searched via google, downloaded and then installed, without any package managers =(

@StaticOS

It’d help if applications shipped with READMEs that say “use your distro’s package management, or use the included spec file” rather than “Type su root, make, make install”

Oh well. If someone wants to make their system unmaintainable there are lots of fun and creative ways to do it.

No, this is not logic of newbies. They are download latest vanilla kernel source and build it with “make”, than install it with “make install” =). This is because advanced newbies using Slackware with it vanilla software and give advices to newbies use Slackware too. But if newbie don’t use Slackware, and using distros with package-managers, they are prefer to slackware-way to build software from vanilla sources, and then “make install” them…

@staticOS. Sure enough. It is mentioned there.

I was assuming that if you’re rebuilding with the package management tool you’re starting with the distro’s kernel source package, so you pick up all the distro-specific stuff and go from there rather than starting at vanilla…
