Description Patryk Rzadzinski 2007-09-28 10:35:59 UTC
In this section of the handbook there's a passage stating: 

For x86-based systems we have, amongst other kernels, gentoo-sources (kernel source patched with performance-enhancing features).

I've talked to Chainsaw, who explained kindly, that the difference between the *current* vanilla and -gentoo patchset are some extra features (so not performance enhancements).

log strip:
[11:59:59] <@Chainsaw> Faustov: As far as I know, splash support, vesafb-ng or whatever it's called this month...
[12:00:04] <@Chainsaw> Faustov: And some LiveCD filesystem.
[12:00:15] <@Chainsaw> Faustov: Perhaps speakup card support, if it still applied.



Reproducible: Always
