If you download the kernel and the kernel sources, you can usually
run much later kernels than your distro came with. Usually its much
more sensitive to a different compiler version than a different kernel
version.
Having said this, I wouldn't get too crazy trying to bring the kernel
all the way up to the current one with no baclup, so be sure to
retain your current one.
I used to install Mantel's Kernel of the Day, (because his almost
always worked, and I needed the emerging features back then)
and was several kernels later than the distro. Mind you, this was
significantly prior to 9.1.
