Get the woody (unstable) distro. Woody is plenty stable and getting
perfect. Potato is too old for any but vanilla server (and rock solid
desktop) use.

Kernels are tougher to compile, IMHO (very humble here, friends) opinion
in rh. I'm still stuck trying to get one to work here. It worked great in
debian everytime, but the stock kernels are a good place to start.
