For the kernel version, I'd recommend whatever the most recent stable version is when we compile.

For XFree86, 4.0 is nice for those that can run it--if we can spare the space, it might not be a bad idea to include that and the last 3.x version so that those who are running older video cards for which support has been dropped can still run X.

As to filesystem, I believe there should be a choice--I'm personally going to try ReiserFS if/when I get S.u.S.E. However, some might still want ext2 or ext3.

Oh, after experiencing the pain of patching the kernel for PCSP support (I wouldn't generally recommend this patch, actually, but the TBS Montego is, to the best of my knowledge, not supported in Linux), I think it might be a good idea to patch the kernel for DVD ioctl support if we choose a kernel that doesn't have the support built in.

Of course, there are so many kernel options that I'm in favor of using Slackware-type tactics--let the user choose one to install based on hardware support needs.
