Modified Kernel
I know Linode is using modified kernels. I had some trouble while i was trying to install PIAF (pbx in a flash) on the top of an existing CentOS (using a script because the default install option is to boot from a CD which also installs CentOS).
If i use finnix, my mode will be out of default support with standard kernel. Not sure but i might read Rackspace is using standard kernels, is this true?
Regards,

the mainline kernel source
Of course, neither provide the kernel your distribution shipped with; they're often compiled with a particular configuration or modified to fit the distribution's needs. If you need to run such a nonstandard kernel see this document
