^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 9) If you say Y here, you will include support for Unix domain sockets;
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 10) sockets are the standard Unix mechanism for establishing and
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 11) accessing network connections. Many commonly used programs such as
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 12) the X Window system and syslog use these sockets even if your
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 13) machine is not connected to any network. Unless you are working on
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 14) an embedded system or something similar, you therefore definitely
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 15) want to say Y here.
