How to recompile ubuntu kernel

[David Mason]

Sorry to be a little off topic - but I have always wondered why
distros don't offer up a few kernel choices with some popular features
compiled in. Especially with the large number of laptops - I am sure
many people would appreciate having a kernel with swsusp2 built in.
Just thinking.
