I don't understand. Do you mean pre-compiled kernels? As a debian
enthusist, I'd have to admit that kernel are about equal in most distros.
Debian shines in it's package management. You can pick risky or stability,
or in b/w. Set-up is a bit harder, but fairly easy if you have installed
linux before and if you know your way around cli and etc. You may use
XF86Config from rh for example.
