A very good question I'm sure because I'm used to redhat distributions 
of rpms and I suspect that building an alien kernel will probably result 
in breaking things a lot.

Saddly I have a single computer at home, its used for email and surfing 
but its also connected to the internet via broadband and run sereral 
virtual domains worth of email and web services. I also run windoze 2000 
in a vmware session, vmware is a little sensitive to changing kernels 
going to 2.6 will for certain break this feature.

So basicly everytime I go through a revolution of "playing" I loose all 
of those things.  The advantange to running Redhat stuff is that its a 
lot more stable than the latest and greated bleeding edge stuff and thus 
its easier to setup and quicker to install. Its limitations are that its 
old and you have to wait an age for the latest and greatest to get into 
it.   For example I had to wait 2 monthes for a new version of the 
fedora core before it supported VIA-SATA drives.

As with many s/w oriented things in the past I've "under estimated" the 
ammount of time and effort needed to get a "home-rolled" application 
working. I suspect I need to invest in a second machine so I can safely 
play without it effecting other services..

I'd be glad to hear any suggestions on feedback, techniqes, other 
distributions or horror stories about getting setup though.

Thanks
Simon
