Re: [gentoo-user] Module philosophy: Compile-in or Load

I usualy start with a kernel with almost everything compiled in (but
only things I definitely need), only using modules when I have to
(USB for suspend2 comes to my mind). Over time whenever I need
something new (filesystem, hardware driver,...) I tend to compile it
as a module to avoid a reboot. As I do not upgrade my kernel very
often this happens more often than you might think (last upgrade was
from 2.6.11 to 2.6.16, on my laptop from 2.6.10 to 2.6.16).

I don't really care about the 300k more used memory (hardly worth a
thought on systems with 1 GB RAM and more) or the 0.3 seconds faster
boot process. Modules just come in handy when it comes to avoiding a
reboot.
