Well, I'm debating posting the kitchen, mainly due to time constraints, but we'll see.

The differences are mainly a few things.

1. The GSM has a native 6.5 kernel so there is no real need to recmod seeing as you have 96MB of Slot (not counting slot 63) allocation before running into Slot 0. CDMA users have a 6.q kernel and must convert a lot of modules to files to avoid filling up Slot 0 (VERY BAD).

2. The device drivers are slightly different due to slightly different hardware (I think it's mainly the radio, but I could be wrong and others may correct me).

3. I believe you also have a different os.nb.payload/XIP depending on the kitchen you are using.

I'm sure there are a few other minor differences, but the key is making sure your kitchen is configured for a Herman if it's CDMA, or Raphael if it is GSM, else bad things could happen (mainly, just a no booter). Also, some kitchens give the choice of choosing whether or not you have a native 6.5 kernel or not, choose wisely

If anyone would like to add/correct this, please by all means
