Out of curiosity, how do the kernels compare? Version differences, bootup
speed, features, etc.?

2.6.20 for ubuntu, but this doesn't mean a lot: boot times are governed by
the services and applications you ask for, and in any distribution you can
change these. If Ubuntu is faster because (for instance) it doesn't load a
firewall (standard), is it then better?

Yes. I forgot to mention this in my post upthread. The
standard Ubuntu install has everything shut down. You can't
even ping the machine. And you are warned NOT to open anything
up without knowing what you are doing.

I'd still prefer a running firewall autoinstalled and running.
