It's my understanding/assumption that the only difference between a
kernel.org kernel patched with kernel-patch-* and a kernel-source-* is
that the kernel-source version has some non-free stuff removed, but they
are otherwise identical, is that correct?
I'm currently using kernel.org kernels (still using 2.4's) with
kernel-patch.
