This was alluded to in the article, and is obligatory for Gentoo discussions, just for the humor:

Thanks for the link. I found that by default, gentoo enables a lot of drivers (and they are not enabled as modules, but as part of kernel). I just made sure that I select the drivers required for my eee pc. It would have taken a lot of time to deselect the default ones. But, I am wondering whether kernel in Gentoo is just as bloated as other distros because of that.
