Well, it's true that RHAT will not support just any random
kernel that you've overlaid on top of an RHEL distribution,
but even as a Debian devotee I respect their reasons for
adopting that stance - they're reknowned for patching their
kernels to smithereens in an ongoing effort to fix bugs and
back-port selected enhancements, so the RHAT kernels can end
up being quite different from the kernel.org kernel a given
distribution is based on.
