Yes, but most standard kernels are pretty much the same, only more
exotic hardware usually requires a kernel recompile. I don't think
bare.i differs much from RH base kernel (apart from their 2.5 back
porting), could anyone actively using RH confirm that?
Plus, hardware support *is* equal, it just might be a bit harder to get
it to work, through a kernel-recompile for example.
