You think so... have you installed Redhat lately? Have you run into any of the issues that they have had regarding libs and version of code for some of the modules? Redhat always wants to be first with the latest glibc... how many times has that caused utter chaos for the end users? Yes, the kernel source is supposed to be the same. So, do you download your kernels from kernel.org? Do a comparison sometime of some of the code you get with a generic kernel from kernel.org and them compare it to a 2.X.X-AC kernel that Alan Cox has run through, or a SuSE kernel. I will guarantee that you'll find patches and other fix ups that are not in the "stock" kernel. I have yet to see Redhat do the level of diligence they should in rolling their distro. Some people complain that SuSE is slow... I don't think it's slow, I think it's cautious - and worthwhile for the end-user. I've been running Linux in one form or another since '93. I have tried EVERY major distro out there. I will not claim that SuSE is perfect... but they are far better than almost anyone else out there when it comes to pulling it all together. - Herman Disclaimer: The above statements are my own belief, and do not reflect the views and opinions of many on this list.

Wow! Herm your going to a bit of extreme w/ redhat are you not sir! I thought this was a linux(kernel same in all distro's)community project here and it is free abiding by our choice of the license correct! Or did I miss the downloading of/or cvs of source not being free? By the way the compiler issues w/redhat are dead and it is doing fine I downloaded the first beta and have been updating it since now running 2.4.2 all source is compiling great! I should say that SuSE has some major problems with the yast1 text based installer this time, some of us notice this stuff but don't flame each others preffered distros ot the want for an iso to burn................chill out guys it is linux, the same kernel code in all of the distros........ If a script or compiler, source or something is missing to cry fixit, I will say by the way though, I am in every way paying and supporting Linux for its continued growth, however I do to like free beer!
