Yes. I've considered /not/ partitioning, but I determined that a partitioned
setup had more advantages than a 'flat' setup.

With partitioning, you can reserve space for future use, and limit space where
it makes sense to. You position yourself for reasonable backups, and
reasonable filesystem check times (imagine the time it would take to fsck a
160Gb flat space at startup 8-S ). You seperate critical subtrees from
disposable ones, optimize filesystems to match data (do you /really/ need a
journalling fs for the /tmp filesystem? I think not). You can impose security
restrictions (read-only mounts, or no-exec mounts) on subtrees.

And you can do none of that with a flat filesystem space.

So, that means if I have RedHat 6.0 with Kernel 2.2.17 (or 2.2.26),
can I compile and install kernel 2.6.n ?
