This page is ancient but I don't think much has changed, except
that I no longer find it necessary to compile my own kernels for
Debian. Decades ago, I would buy (rather, have bought for me)
new modules to increase the memory in my acquired PCs; maybe that
helped in staying error-free. I don't do much compiling now, and
certainly not linux kernels.

David.
