Kernel.org is where I get my goods from :)
Keep in mind that the latest stable kernel (last time I checked) is
2.2.16 and redhat's latest rpm's are 2.2.16-3, so unless you wanted a
development kernel, using the rpms is just fine. Regarding the how to,
it's been a while since I read it, but if you do use the RPMs to obtain
the source, just skip the part about obtaining it and move onto
configuration. I figured out how to do it from Sams Red Hat Linux
Unleashed....once you learn the config options, the actual process is
really easy...
Recompiling is a good idea and good to learn....I run an old slow limited
mem Pentium....by recompiling the kernel to only what I need I've scaled
it back from 640k to 440k.
Enjoy! Playing with the kernel is fun! :)

What you call data processing when people are so disgusted with
it they won't let it be discussed in their presence.
