As a brand new Debian user who didn't even know how to spell Colonel until recently, and who has been caught out by the lack of PS/2 support, I'd vote for a large "everything and the kitchen sink" kernel to cover most eventualities. This will give heart to new-users and upgraders, and can trimmed and tweaked by the gurus. And thank you to all who responded with my "newbie" question about telnetting in as root to a box without a screen or keyboard - su and /etc/securetty were all new to me.
