hehe you might have a point :-) it has something to do with the user, but I have to say there have been issues with the 2.6 series. And a more tested kernel (debian/redhat/suse) is more TESTED than a vanilla one and might have some bugs fixed, however there are called new/experimential stuff in the kernel and "non -essential/-server stuff" that one can ( yes it`s possible!) leave out...

The Linux Kernel's Fuzzy Future (InformationWeek) Posted Dec 6, 2004 21:49 UTC (Mon) by iabervon (subscriber, #722) [Link] Now that there's better communication and flow of patches into the kernel, the bugs fixed in a distro kernel will probably be also fixed in the vanilla kernel from the same time (which will be a later version than the basis of the distro kernel). The issue is the rate at which bugs which affect the function of features already in the kernel are added. It has seemed that almost all of the regressions have been caught quickly, were necessary evils to fix a more serious problem quickly, or involve uncovering BIOS bugs.
