Unless the patches are binaries (which they can't do binary patches on
the kernel as that violates the GPL), you can usually get them to apply
to the stock kernel source with a little coaxing. If they're not kernel
patches, well, most stuff is still GPLed with mandates source code, but
some distributions really mess with some userspace stuff.

matches your distribution."
This is what I was talking about. If your distro is not on their list,
you better use something else. Application dictates the kind of distro
you use.
