Due to the fact that BSD is very flexible, in case of hardware failure other than hard disk, you can remove the hard drive and put it in any other server and with GENERIC you just power on and it will allways work. When you use a system tuned version, that might be not the case as some removed periphirals are deleted from the Kernel. Is this, in combination with the speedy processors nowadays, a reason to use GENERIC though? Is Kernel finetuning not for older hardware (P2 and P3 related)? Jos
