John, Fortunately, there is a kernel available so I do not need to recompile one. I am sure that recompiling the kernel myself is good for my soul, but unfortunately I have other things that are higher priority like making videos, and the one time I tried I got lots of build errors. I do use the nVidia drivers as blender needs open gl or something and the free drivers do not do this, but this means that I rebuild the drivers each time I upgrade the kernel.

Compiling a new kernel doesn't overwrite the old kernel or its modules, and unless you have some commercial binary kernel modules (like ATI or NVidia drivers or something) you should be able to compile all your existing modules in the new kernel so there's little that would break. If you've never compiled your own kernel, I humbly suggest you dive in and try it. It's a lot of work, but it's good for you, and the kernel sources usually come with some nifty user-friendly tools so you will probably be able to do it without editing any config files or anything.
