I have a doubt about kernel compilation. Two days ago I compiled by hand

something.
Since I had to restore my old slackware bakcup to recover some files and
information, I got a copy of the already running (at slack) 2.6.31.6
kernel configuration that is finely tuned for my desktop... my question
is: can I simply load such kernel configuration in the 'make xconfig' that
is working (same desktop and cpu configuration) and compile it with
debian? I mean, it is the same computer and hardware, the same kernel
version, etc.
Yes. In addition, I would highly recommend using kernel-package to
compile your kernel to generate a deb. Here's a nice primer:
