On the other hand, it's not *that* difficult to configure your own kernel. Keep a known good one around, and refer to its .config file. If you're not sure, and you can, build stuff as modules. Then look at which modules you're actually using. And you'll learn a lot!

[newbie question] how do you find out what modules you're using? (Apologies for hijacking).
