Greetings wise ones!
So far, I've been faithfully using the kernels supplied by the FC3
repositories (2.6.9-1.681_FC3, etc). In a couple of messages I've seen
suggestions for getting a kernel from another source (linuxant?) to
improve MySQL performance, and on another mailing list (win4lin) get the
kernel sources from
kernel.org, apply win4lin patches and compile your
own kernel. Obviously there are differences, and obviously the fedora
folks have added stuff to the kernel. I've read through the kernel.spec
file and seen the list of patches to be applied (and backing out
patches), but I still have the question, what does the "official" FC3
kernel have that the latest 2.6.9 kernel from
kernel.org doesn't have,
or vice versa? Is there a list or comparison of the kernels anywhere? I
would like to have win4lin working, but what would I lose/gain by using
the latest generic kernel from kernel.org?
