That would be great but there is a little problem there, I have no
knowledge on how to do that, and on other hand would I have to
rebuild the kernel each time a security update comes out? I have
heard of people doing this, and I have heard a few problems form doing
this to.
Now don't get me wrong I would love to learn how to do it, I just
don't have any idea where to start or what tools I would need to do
it. I have been using Linux for a few years but I have been more of a
end user and just learning what I need at that time not really digging
deep into it.
Thanks for any help.

You do have the freedom to do some customisation if you want to use the
distro, and I would presume rolling your own kernel is one of them.
If you don't want to roll your own kernel, you can always customise the
distro by using the fedora kernel only and SL/Centos for the rest of the
software.
It is surprisingly easy to build a kernel from SRPM, such as a Fedora
SRPM. Check out the SL Forum howto section on how to build packages
from SRPM. - http://scientificlinuxforum.org/index.php?showtopic=128
I built a F15 kernel using these methods with no problem at all after 2
minutes' reading.
