The latest stable kernel is 2.0.35, right?

I want to add awe32 support to my kernel.  I'm using 2.0.35, but
I'm having trouble.  I thought I read somewhere that 2.1.xxx has
the awe32 stuff in it already.  Though this is an unstable (?)
kernel, I might like to play with it.  The docs for kernel
2.1.126 mention that I probably need to upgrade a few packages on
my box.  They are:

Kernel modules (v 2.1.121)
Procps (v 1.2.9)
Procinfo (v 14)
NFS ( 2.2beta37)
ppp (v 2.3.5)

Where do I find these programs?  And is it even a good idea to
compile and install this new kernel?  I've never played with an
experimental kernel before, only those that come with RHL or are
in the updates directory already in RPM format.  These aren't
standard GNU utilities, are they?

Thanks,

Kevin
