It's up to you, depending on how long you want to download.  Patches
download much faster then the full kernel.  I seem to recall that there
were some problems with the 2.0.32 kernel.  I'm currently running 2.0.33
with no problems.  You might consider going to 33.   Anyone recall
problems with 32?

NT is secure.... as long as you don't remove the shrink wrap.
