WHOSE kernel?

Will someone please enlighten me?

I have often seen reference to <this kernel> or <that kernel>... Am I 
right in assuming that these are kernels configured and compiled by 
people for others not savvy enough to "roll their own?"  (That's not 
meant as a slam on anyone...)

Further, what's "special" about BenH's kernel?  Could I not make this 
work myself by compiling my own?  Or is this something I should stay 
away from on PPC and leave it to the "experts"?

Genuinely curious,
...ROMeyn
