I have a RH 7.0 machine with the 2.2.19 kernel that I installed from source.
I'd like to use the 2.4 kernel iptables capability to help tighten security.

First question -- Can a RH 7.0 machine run the 2.4 kernel? Or do I have to
upgrade the OS to RH 7.1 and up?

Second question -- I installed the 2.2.19 kernel from source because I was
too chicken-shit to trust up2date to do it for me. Later versions of up2date
seem to be handling it well, however, and installing a kernel from source is
incredibly nerve wracking for a newbie (I didn't change/compile anything
different into the 2.2.19 kernel when I installed anyways). So is it safe
for me to let up2date handle a 2.4 kernel install?
