which distros have patched kernels and which ones have not?


I am pretty sure that Slackware has an original kernel, without specific patches. But I suspect that the Ubuntu kernel _is_ patched. How about Debian? And how about other distros?

I think that most of the rest of the "bigger" distributions patch their kernels.

I know that Debian, Gentoo & Arch do.
