In debian I almost "always" do a custom kernel, but thats for servers and such. That's really the cool thing about linux though... you always have the options available to you! :)
Debian / Libranet have a tool for recompiling the Kernel which I would LOVE for SUSE too get. Libranet Linux I know for sure has it, and it's very nice. A read where a newbie re-did his Kernel because ti was so easy with this tool. I can't think of what it's called off hand though.
I'm not a Debian user though, I use SUSE, Slackware, and Free BSD, and for at least one machine, XP. I do like Libranet, just not enough to where I'll give up Slackware or SUSE.
I've never actually done the "debian" way on a kernel install, just grabbed the source from kernel.org and went from there. :) Never tried the Libranet. I really prefer the "apt" type install vs Yast. Although things are getting much better on SuSE since I last ventured here, I'm still much more familiar with debian in general, but all-in-all its been a good thing. Only thing I need now, is to get my WinTV Go (bt878) card working under 9.1. (start another thread if you're and expert at this!) ;) Dana
