I note that you *N*X users mention recompiling the kernel. Is that
something peculiar to the UNIX/LINUX world? Is it done by the average user?
I presume (from "context clues", as my fourth grade son's homework puts it)
that it provides a smaller/faster/more crashproof installation.
I've always run CP/M and Bill's M$-DO$ and have no experience with UNIX.
Should I -- I fix boxen and run online and graphics apps; I don't program
much anymore -- play with UNIX? What would I get out of it?
