*raises his hand*

I use a standard (RHL) kernel on all my machines.  Why?  Why not?
It's easier to update, easier to install, and it works just fine for
me.  In fact, ALL of MIT's machines use the standard kernel because
it's easier to update automatically.

Who has to rebuild the kernel modules?  You have one person build an RPM
with the modules and it _JUST WORKS_.
