1. linux source straight from the tarball, what do yo umean, recomping the kernel in /usr/src/linux and then moving the kernel image to / by hand, such that you don't need a pkg manager for it? It's fairly easy to use debian's kernel-pkger
2. stability and security? It's better than windows (tm). Debian stable is very stable and the apt-get has the security update site in there.
3. writing NTFS i thought was still experimental. reading is no sweat. non windoze destroying install is ez if you already have a 2nd partition. If not, well the hard part is playing with partition magic.
Red hat 9.0 was really really slow for me.
