	If it makes you feel any better, here is my kernel config file for
my home desktop.  I'm no speciallist, though.  Also, keep in mind that
this is basically just used by me and, on rare occation, visiting
friends.  I also use it as a file server for my Mac.  If you aren't going
to do that, eave out the "options NETATALK" line.  :)
