Well, This is a situational thing and not something I can really decide 
for you.  For instance.  I use the stock debian kernel on my desktops 
(meaning I have installed kernel-image-2.6.7-1-686 and 
kernel-source-2.6.7).  But the default Debian kernel doesn't work with 
the hardware on my laptop, so I build my own.

You can try apt-geting the kernel-image and kernel-source for your 
machine and see if it works for you.  Just make sure that your old 
kernel is still in your lilo.conf (or grub.conf) so you aren't left with 
a broken system.

Mike, it might be less disruptive to your life if you used the OpenMosix 
Knoppix disk, ClusterKnoppix.  Granted I haven't read the entire thread 
so you may have decided against that for some reason.  The reason I say 
it, is that openmosix isn't that useful for a typical workstation 
machine.  You should have a specific problem you are trying to solve and 
build your solution around that.  But its just not going to be too 
useful on your desktop.  So if its just a matter of trying it out, which 
is great!, I would suggest using the cluster knoppix disk since it has 
the mosix in the kernel already.  And there are a few things you can try 
out (drawing fractals using several computers) password cracking ... etc.
