After having being burned twice: first by Mandrake and supermount, and second

making sure that their distribution will run the standard kernel? (ie. 2.6.X from
kernel.org). When running a non-vendor kernel, I need to reasonably expect that the system
will boot and all the filesystems and standard devices are available. I don't
expect every startup script to run clean, or every device that has a driver
only in the vendor kernel to work.

Fedora Core runs stock 2.4 and 2.6 kernels just fine... :)
