I am not able to understand your requirements. If you want to develop & test kernels, then I dont think you get the source code with any distribution. Be it redhat (fedora) or debian (ubuntu). In case you want to do that, you should install a distribution & then also compile & install the prefered kernel version from www.kernel.org.
Now coming to GUI - all distributions support GUI interface.
The choice of distribution varies from person to person depending on his requirements. But from what I have experienced so far * read is that redhat (fedora) is good from development & debian (ubuntu) is good for GUI & isntallation on laptops/desktops.

Hello All,
I dont want to start a distribution war amongst the developers but
what seems to be the preferred distribution for kernel developers that
has prooven its pace to be able to develop and test vanilla kernels
with ease, and includes a gui desktop.
Thanks,
Shaffin.
