What is the ideal kernel version, and iptables version for the most
stable config. The config should support FTP, Windows Media player, MSN
and Yahoo messenger, and hopefully pptp. Key work being stable. I would
also like to do some content filtering i.e. code red stuff.

I don't think there is any such thing as an "ideal" configuration; but I
am running kernel 2.4.19 with latest netfilter/iptables release ie. pom
20020825 and iptables-1.2.7a: no complaints, it runs great really.
Support for the services you are mentioning is a matter of (you) writing an
appropriate iptables script to implement a customized stateful firewall to
match your specs.
Netfilter/iptables is a packet filter, not a content filter; look elsewhere
if you want to implement content filtering. You may start searching this
mailing list for some suggestions.

2.4.19
1.2.7a
Both latest stable.

You'll need some patch-o-matic extensions to support all those.

iptables is not a content filter.
