But, uh... For over than 700 databases, I personaly recommend recompiling, 
though. The main reason for that is performance : you can ensure the binary 
being compiled against your very configuration, optimizing against speed on 
the processor, in particular.

In fact, this is _not_ mandatory, of course, but it may be a good 
opportunity.

Anyway, I would recommend building a custom kernel, fille donly with _really 
mandatory_ drivers, and a recent stable version. Yes, even on Debian ;-))
