    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.
