[Pardus-users] To recompile kernel or not to recompile kernel

Just a little more on the subject : CONFIG_X86_GENERIC gives support for 
generic X86 optimizations, but CONFIG_MPENTIUMM adds some pentium-m spesific 
optimizations.

Pentium-m is *supported* anyway, enabling pentium-m specific optimizations 
will give only marginal gains on some applications.
