Ubuntu is just like a M$ Windows that it will ask you to execute updates from time to time. If the kernel change is released it will automatically updated the system for you.

The kernel is the heart of any OS, the main reasons you would update a kernel would be if the kernel you are using does not support a peace of hardware and a newer kernel would. Or for security reasons, the newer kernel will or should have security issues fixed. Or if you are running a multi prossesor system, although the newer kernels aready come with support for the dual core cpu's.

There are a few ways you can update a kernel, the easiest is to use your disro's package manager to install the kernel image. Or you can compile the kernel your self, do a search on this site or Google/linux (www.google.com/linux) on Howto compile a kernel and you will get all kinds of info.

No, what you would have is Suse 10.2 with a custom kernel.

First check with your distro's package manager to see if there is a pre-compiles kernel, if not then you can find one at Kernel (www.kernel.org)
