Thank you in advance

Your question really does not make any sense.

There are numerous GNU/Linux distributions such as Fedora, Mandrake, Ubuntu, etc. which may or may not use a particular kernel.

Hi

you can add 2.6.20 kernel to the existing one. download the required kernel (2.6.20) and use in your machine.

search for linux-2.6.20.1.tar.gz in Index of /pub/linux/kernel/v2.6 and download .

how to compile and install

#tar -zxvf linux-2.6.20.1.tar.gz

#cd linux-<version>

#make menuconfig ( for customizing )

#make

#make modules_install

this may take around 2 hours.

2.6.20 is a very old kernel by now. The oldest gentoo still has unmasked is 2.6.32-r20

If you manually install a kernel that old anyway, it'll probably break many things. modern udev for one requires at least 2.6.21 I believe
