Downloading a kernel binary on a 56 Kbps connection may take almost as long as compiling it. ;) Anyhow, trial and error when compiling kernels does spark a certain aggressiveness — in many cases I would hesitate to call it passive though. :) Fortunately compiling kernels is not as relevant today as it was back in 2000 when I first installed Red Hat.

Reminds me of an idea we actually discussed ages ago; utilizing Google's server park (or any other hardware configuration better than your own) to create custom kernels. (1) Input your hardware and kernel preferences on the website, (2) let the cloud do the compiling, (3) download, (4) use. Would it work? I don't know, but repeatedly trying (and failing) to compile a kernel on a 66MHz CPU, 8MB RAM box sure sparks creativity (and passive aggressiveness). Sounds cool.
