Jeff, do you _ever_ speak plain english? :-)

I'm trying to stick to the kernel tree's provided by SuSE, because they
have all the extra bits the distribution relies on built in already.
I've got a choice of 2.4.7 {working, but still with occasional lockups due
to kernel paging requests going bye-bye - less than 2.4.4 did though}, or
2.4.10 {which I'm busily downloading now, but am unsure if I really wanna
install}.
Seeing as you're hard core debian, I doubt anything except saying "I'm
switching to Debian tomorrow" would enable you to give me more information
than you already have. :)
