It's not really necessary as most of the things that make a difference
can be controlled by sysctls. Most obvious one being the default
disk IO elevator.
Separate /etc/sysctl.conf's makes a lot more sense than a separate
kernel image.
Agreed that sysctls are far better than different kernel builds. Having
said that.. what is the mechanism to actually set different knobs on a
client distro vs a server distro? For example would that just consist
of a bunch of lines spread around random init scripts, or should there
be something like a "profile" file with sysctl settings, ie, one for
desktop, other for server. Heck, if you can do that, why not have an
NFS server, database server, web server separate profiles too.
