    Everyone uses the features which are present in their own specific hardware. When you do "make menuconfig" you can deselect those features not supported in your hardware. It makes the kernel slightly smaller and marginally faster (not really worth the trouble, really).

    I suspect first answer refers to compling Linux kernel. Is that what you are asking? Many applications are downloaded in source version, which also requires compiling. so you need to specify what you mean. I use all the usual tools. Web; e-mail; CD burning; LyX; I have 1100+ books from the Gutenberg project, and I read them; solitaire (linux has dozens of them). I don't do games.
