+Kernel Configuration
+________________________________________________________________________________
+
+Configuring the kernel is an incredibly daunting task. There are over 10,000
+possible options in a modern kernel that you can choose to enable, disable, or
+make available as modules. At first, this might seem overwhelming. However, the
+plethora of options available to users allows for incredible flexibility in
+system usability and efficiency.
+
+The kernel allows you to control many aspects of how your machine works.
+Everything from what CPU will support your kernel, whether or not to enable
+hibernation, if modules can be unloaded, SELinux support, and cypher algorithms,
+along with many of debugging options, are all available for tweaking.  Do you
+only want XFS support, but want your kernel to run on Xen CPUs but only from
+particular kinds of SCSI drives? You could do that. Do you want to make sure
+your kernel is as secure as it can be, by disabling hyperthreading, adding
+retpoline, using things like App Armor and forcing module signature
+verification? Also an option! Everything that the Linux kernel *is* is at your
+fingertips. 
+
+Please be aware that going through every single kernel option is a difficult,
+arduous, or at the very least a time consuming endeavor. If your goal in reading
+this page is to eak out every last tenth of a percentage of performace from your
+kernel, your time may be better spent elsewhere; very little is to be gained
+from fine-tuning these options. If performance is what you're after, you are
+better off looking at patchsets for the kernel. The primary goals of this page
+are to provide documentation on kernel features and to encourage users to
+explore kernel configuration from a position of confidence.
