I can understand the ease of installation of an RPM kernel, but I
think we would do well to use a kernel that was compiled with our
hardware in mind. Surely, we don't need sound support or other such
things boating our kernel, and we might enjoy a little extra
performance from a kernel that doesn't have to use modules to access
it's primary IO devices.

could easily make such an upgrade.
I am familiar with the kernel and compiling and installing (I use
LILO, if that's okay with everyone) and such. So, if we can reach a
consensus about the kernel version, I can manage. Alternatively, if
there is already one compiled and ready, I can just install that.
I think you should use the Redhat kernel. :) I believe the current
version for us (after a cursory look) appears to be:
kernel-smp-2.4.18-27.7.x.athlon.rpm (for Redhat 7.2).
