Depends on your kernel, the distro kernel, and your package manager settings. One of the biggest selling points for Redhat is the live patch kernel updates with zero down time. However, Redhat is the original Linux distro and their devs do a lot of the kernel code maintenance and development.
Redhat is not the original. Just of the ongoing projects, there is both Slackware and Debian, which are both older than Redhat. Redhat stands out because they are a commercial, for profit company, so they have more money and resources to invest in Linux development than most organizations, and they have a vested interest since it is their product base.
