I've been puzzling a bit lately over the best way to manage my kernel.
I've always tried to keep it as minimal as possible, and I only
enable things as I need them.  I also don't build modules from the
kernel at all.

Is there a better way to go?  I'm starting to think it might be better
to build every single module and let the system load them as it needs

A friend of mine does this for his production servers:

1/ builds the known needed things into the kernel
2/ disables loadable modules completely

This is probably not suitable for some use cases...(new raid card ...ooops... redo kernel), but if you are deploying to known hardware it is ok.
