  if you're going to just manually install the new kernel, then it
makes precious little difference. on the other hand, if you really
want to go through the packaging, then you can run one of:

  $ make rpm-pkg
  $ make deb-pkg

other than that, as greg suggests, any even *remotely* current distro
should work just fine.
