What I would say personally is: Unless the new kernel has features or
hardware support that you actually want, don't bother.
(if it works, don't fix it)
But if you do take the trouble to compile a new kernel, why not use the
current stable one, which I believe is 2.4.22 (exists as an official
debian kernel-source package which is listed as sid and sarge but works
fine on woody too)...
Cheers!
