I use HIS rpm and don't compile at all.  He has Binary RPMS as well
as the source RPMS.  I install both because I need the headers etc
for VMWare compiles etc.  But I've never been burned by one of his
kernels except one time.  So I let his kernels sit a week and then
install.  If they are bad he will remove them by then.

But to be truthfull, I have not installed his .21 kernels yet..
Too busy to get to it.  I keep a machine around for this
sort of expirimentation, but have not had time to touchit for 5 days.
