What makes a MDK kernel
 

Okay, I've got like a million-gazillion question marks about the Mandrake kernels. I know they're "special flavored" ones, so my question is, what's the difference between the Mandrake kernel and the official kernel.org kernel?

I've got a bunch of patches I would apply to an original kernel (lufs - great for fake-sharing on DC++ ;-), bootsplash - eyecandy, dazuko - if I ever want vexira AV real time daemon, not to mention supermount), but am affraid I'd loose some functionalities.
