As a professional Linux admin for over a decade, I just want to share my two-pronged opinion that compiling a kernel when I first got started was one of the most educational Linux experiences I have had, and that I cannot fathom a reason why you'd want to use your own kernel in production. If there's a critical bugfix, would you rather go through "make menuconfig" (or similar) and then test it thoroughly to make sure all the latest stuff doesn't break your apps, or just do apt-get and be done with it?
