Hmm. How sure are you? Can someone else confirm/deny that they're actually
using different kernels?

Because back when I used RedHat 4.0, I simply downloaded a newer kernel, wiped
the old one and recompiled - nothing redhat specific at all. And it worked.

I have since then upgraded to Debian 2.0, and been assuming that when the time
comes, it's perfectly safe to somply recompoile a new kernel and/or patch it.

Am I incorrect? Should I always find some Debian-specofic kernel?

(I know I can't necessarily just drop in 2.2 like nothing's happened, but as for
staying inside 2.0 I mean)
