initial setup for newbies

Greetings,

My name is Alceu and I'm a newbie regarding OpenSSI.

I'm checking which version I should use for a initial test and that 
should be version 1.2 (stable). Or would you recommend using the testing 
version?

I asking that because installing Debian (my Linux distro of choice) 
Sarge is not that simple because most of my hardware is not well supported.

I have a doubt regarding which kernel version should I use during setup. 
I didn't find anything about that in the documentation 
(http://openssi.org/cgi-bin/view?page=docs2/1.2/debian/INSTALL.html) but 
found something in the documentation for Fedora.

Thank you in advance,
Alceu
