You using Debian? Here.
Ok. My name's not Wes, but I've got some questions anyway. :)

Debian stable, using this source:

# Kernel 2.6
deb http://www.backports.org/debian stable kernel-2.6
A system upgrade updated the following packages then:

        hdparm
        module-init-tools
        net-tools
        procps
Vanilla Kernel 2.6.3 from kernel.org compiles and runs just fine, as
far as I can see. No sound yet (Audigy I), but that's no primary goal
anyway. NVidia driver V5336 loads as a module, everything else is
compiled in statically. Got a turbo-mouse now. So far, so good...
My questions are:

* Is the updating of the above packages really necessary?

* Is it sufficient, or did I miss something?

* ITABWTDI (is there a better way to do it)?

* Any patches recommended?

* Aside from the NVidia driver, would anybody recommend using 2.6.3
  Kernels on a Debian stable in a productive environment right now?
Background is, I have such a system which experiences heavy load.
Anything yielding greater performance is greatly appreciated. But
as usual, time is not really on my side.
Hints to existing docs are absolutely sufficient.
