I've built a new 2.6.37 kernel with kernel-package where I use an
"--append-to-version" option to add a hostname a build number.

I have a few debian unstable boxes that I like to keep up-to-date.
Currently, I run apt-cacher-ng (a proxy for apt-get which stores
packages so they don't need to be downloaded again) on my gateway box
(lenny 32-bit), so I don't double download from my couple of other boxes
(sid 64-bit). This work
