[01:14] <shwag> how should I initialize a new /dev ?
[01:15] <shwag> I booted off a cd to look at my root partition and saw that /dev has a bunch of static files in it. I am doing a remote install on another machine and need to recreate this.  MAKEDEV ?  udevstart ?
[01:32] <shale> can anyone tell me the diff between the .15-27-server and .15-27.686 kernels?
[01:33] <shale> i have a server with 2x xeon dual core and i'm not sure which kernel to run
[01:33] <shwag> not a clue
[01:35] <lullabud> shale:  i'm running the 2.6.15-27-amd64-server kernel on a dual xeon with no problems.
[01:35] <lullabud> shale:  though i can't say it wouldn't be better with a different kernel since i don't really know the differences.
[01:36] <shale> ah
[01:37] <lullabud> interesting... `apt-cache show linux-image-2.6.15-23-amd64-xeon`
[01:41] <infinity> shale: You can compare the configs, but there are a few changes.  -server has a lower clock tick, uses a different I/O scheduler, and a few other tweaks that make it less suitable for a desktop, but more generally suitable for a multiuser workload.
