[Samba] Compile kernel with Xeon instructions was: suggestions for a "fast" fileserver - 1G / 10G - focus on smb.conf/samba

[Peter Serbe]

Hi Oscar, 

this is pretty easy. I took advice from here: 

http://www.tecmint.com/kernel-compilation-in-debian-linux/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+tecmint+%28Tecmint%3A+Linux+Howto%27s+Guide%29

In the menuconfig browse to "Processor Type and Features", there You 
can check the "Core 2/newer Xeon" option. 
To the best of my knowledge the default gcc version should do. On my 
Jessie box I happened to find gcc 4.8.2. But I have a hard time, thinking 
that the gcc version shipped with Wheezy wasn't able to compile it just 
as good. 

Best regards
Peter
