[Rule-list] Kernel subproject

Hello,

I think we should start to think also to which kernel we want to
install. My understanding is that the 2.4 series, at least with its
default settings, is by itself not friendly with low (cpu/ram)
machines.

What is your opinion? should we provide the choice between:

1) standard RH kernel (for those who do have RAM, and just want the
lightest possible install for whatever reason)

2) A kernel optimized for low (cpu/ram). How would it be? Which
settings or feature we could or should remove or tune to make it so?
Could it be a 2.4 (journaling, iptables and what else?) or should it
be 2.2? (always maintaining compatibility with other RH packages one
might want to add?)

		Ciao,
			Marco Fioretti
