The prevaling theory was to make a single kernel compiled for a "pentium classic" and then load in drivers for about everything under the sun. Is there anything good written up on if this is the best way for our 4 person admin team to keep managing this or should the boxes be custom tuned for specific groups of machines within reason? "What does it buy us" is one of the big questions as swapping out that many kernels and testing 5-8 different varriants is a big buyin on time.
