There are definitely security benefits from stripping unwanted services from your system and I rather like to know that my system (and ports) are up to date with the latest patches which occasionally requires that you rebuild everything. I would imagine that there is some very minor perfomance benefit in that my new kernel and all its bits and pieces is 22mb smaller than the default shipped in RELENG_6 18M ./kernel 42M ./kernel.old _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
