Interview with Con Kolivas part 1: computing is boring
,----[ Quote ]
| The developers were all developing for something that wasn't the desktop.
| They had all been employed by big name manufacturers who couldn't care less
| about the desktop (and still don't) but want their last 1% on their database
| benchmark or throughput benchmark or whatever.
|
| Linux had won. We were now the biggest competition in the server and database
| market out there and all the big names cared about Linux. Money was pouring
| into development from all these big names into developing Linux's performance
| in these areas.

Linux: Custom Kernels Trim Fat and Tune Performance
,----[ Quote ]
| I have some shocking news: despite the astonishing growth of Linux, there is
| a whole new generation of Linux users who have never, ever compiled a kernel.
| How to account for this sad state of affairs? Perhaps it's because the
| distribution maintainers are doing such fine jobs it's not necessary. Maybe
| users just don't know that they can. Whatever the reasons, today we're taking
| a tour of some of the different ways to customize the Linux kernel.
