Zitat:Why build a custom kernel?

Compiling a custom Linux kernel has its advantages and disadvantages. To change the kernel’s behavior, one had to compile and then reboot into a new Linux. Most of the functionality in the Linux kernel contained in modules that can be dynamically loaded and unloaded from the kernel as necessary. Some benefits of a custom Linux kernel:

1. Support a wide range of hardware including the latest hardware.
   
2. Remove unwanted drivers from the kernel.
   
3. Faster boot time due to small kernel size.
   
4. Increased security due to additional or removed modules/drivers/features.
   
5. You will learn about the kernel and advanced usage.
   
6. Always run the cutting edge latest kernel.
   
7. Lower memory usage.
