I recommended you use the latest stable mainline kernel.  Those are
found here:

  http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/

Current is 2.6.26.5.

Geoff, it would be greate if you can put a readme file there with info such as: what files the iso contains, the kernel version, who and how to use the distro-kit, it will be of great help.

That is for distros to use, not end users.

If the only difference is the different compress method, using the same name prefix could cause less confusion. Second, it would be great if a built for each patched kernel is post there too. It takes expertise to config and build a kernel. I tried to build several times without a good working kernel.

Those are for distros to use, not end users.
