I learned to recompile my kernel at 15 years old. If a company can afford to purchase 4GB of memory, they can afford a few hours of their sysadmin's time to learn to recompile the kernel.. but nonetheless, it isn't necessarily a bad idea to include a high mem support kernel imho.. > If the Debian community is to encourage the use of Debian as the > distribution choice for the enterprise, this may be one of the many ways > to help it along... in my experience, the debian community does not respond well to suggestions like this - the debian community could really, generally, care less if anyone new adopts it, it is a self supporting community that, by nature of its' good software, attracts newcomers at a steady pace (as proven by the traffic on this list ;p).
