Hi Eric, I'm not sure there is a "correct" answer. It all depends on how you are comfortable to do it. I (personally) would do it all on Ubuntu, if I know the target system is an Ubuntu system. If you did it on Debian lenny, then probably the easiest way is to install debian on the target machine as well. If you want to build redistributable packages, then go with deb's. If you only want to build one system, then the traditional way to build a kernel is way easier (done by hand)..
