Well you can easily configure this in post-boot
I've even added some extra settings:
turning off the tcp_timestamps actually gives me 200-300KB/s extra speed
note that this might break some traffic, but timestamps are hardly used in my experience
True... but it's easy
If you run a tight ship when it comes to security, you should be good. If you don't it's not that smart.
btw, does anyone have experience with a 3TB harddisk and oleg?
Can I just create one giant 3TB partition? I know windows has troubles with it, but I'm not sure about linux
