Best kernel to use, actually, is the debian-supplied 2.0.35. FTP it from
your local mirror.
It won't 'solve' the bash/kernel issues - but they are not as serious under
2.0 kernels as they are under 2.1 kernels (i.e. 2.0 kernels give you a
usable machine).
The problems are apparently glibc related, and will be fixed when we get a
new libc.
To keep your mirror up to date, you could run mirror, or rsync. However,
thinkg about why you're doing this? If it's just for your use, is it
worthwile? If, on the other hand its for the use of a group of people, then
go for it. If you can make your mirror publically accessible, even better.
There's a mailing list for mirroring issues - debian-mirror, I think (there
may be an 's').
