my choice is always use the latest "official" kernels and harden that
puppy ( the kernel) with as many kernel patches as needed to apease your
system security paranoia
- debian's default kernels seem to be better than "average"
whereas, the other distro's kernels sucks the royal big one
- but debian's kernel is not as "it works in all cases" config
which is odd, since its just a bunch of modules to load
- create a new initrd on the fly based on lspci results
and than boot :-) -- should be a fun project
