hadi, The latest stable kernel is 2.6.37, according to kernel.org. Actually 2.6.20 is pretty old. I can say with certainty that all the distros under current development have surpassed 2.6.20 some time ago. I'm running Mint 10, which uses 2.6.35-22. The questions you need to be asking yourself in choosing a distro go more along the lines of "What do I expect this distro to do for me? Am I a beginner, intermediate, or expert at command-line tricks? Which package management system do I want to deal with (deb, rpm, pacman, etc...)?, etc... Unless you're a person who is tremendously kernel-savvy, the kernel version is really just a number that doesn't mean much, IMHO.
