All GNU/Linux distros I've tried use the same basic kernel (where

the filesystems is built), and have the same basic GNU/Linux services.
So you
can have that stability with virtually any distro. In my experience, the
compile options used to compile the kernel, the filesystem tools, etc.
is what
determines whether it will be stable. Sometimes, the kernel version itself
will make a system unstable. For example, having kernel compile options
set
that your computer doesn't support can make the resulting system unstable.

The difference, I think, is in how long the "publishers" of a distro
branch issue security releases for it.
