Yes they do. I know in the past red hat releases, they have backported stuff from the devel series kernel into the one they are shipping (IE backport 2.3 stuff into 2.2 - and 2.5 stuff into 2.6) and I believe they also do take some stuff from other sources as well. -- Cheap Linux CD's - http://mpeters.us/linux/
