Someone posed this question to me the other day and though I think I
know the answer, I'm not sure.
If the kernel is recompiled to take advantage of the processor in your
system. Assuming that the installed kernel is for a 486 processor, not
sure if that is the case or do the newer distro's like Redhat install
the proper kernel for you hardware.
Is it better to download, build and install from source RPMS rather than
binary RPMS or does it matter?
Also is it worth while to recompile the kernel?
