If you require xfs support for an enterprise-class Linux distribution
and you are not comfortable compiling your own kernel code, I would
suggest using something which already includes xfs support, such as
SuSE's SLES10.  Or, if you need xfs on RHEL, talk to Red Hat about that
need.

Otherwise I think I'd just be giving you enough rope to hang yourself. :)
