This isnt a one step process. I would look it up on the fedora website because the whole process can take a few hours as I run a 1000HZ kernel with ubuntu. Actually i would google 1000 HZ and that should yield somethin. But to start you need alot of different liraries before u can compile the code.
You need to be root for this.
apt-get install build-essential bin86 kernel-package libqt3-headers libqt3-mt-dev
That will install and download the necessary libraries for you. After u do that go to kernel.org and download the kernel vers u need. This should help get u started.

Yeah, it gives a boost in FPS, I run my linux server which caps out at like 500 fps. Without the timer hz change i would be running about 333 fps.

Yeah but will the higher FPS make a diffrents to the player, or is it just effected serverside.

Well if your server can only run 60 FPS no one in but when 4 people are in there its gonna be down to 22 FPS. It's gonna lag hardcore. Changing the kernel boosts the server FPS, resulting in better performance for clients too.

oh note that 2.6.16.1 is not the most current kernel, in fact it's pretty old. just go to kernel.org and you'll see what the most current one is.
edit: instead of going with the most current, look for the one that is the most stable. a lot of the smaller revisions are to fix certain problems.
