Why?  I've been in Linux for years and it's been years since I needed
the kernel source.

If you must, check out

http://www.kernel.org/

but I don't think you are going to get what you think.  You can't
build a kernel unless you have Linux installed.  What you more likely
want is

http://fedora.redhat.com/

Check out KRUD

http://www.tummy.com/Products/krud/

It is a superset of Fedora Core 3.  You can buy a single issue (4 CDs)
with all the latest patches and bug fixes for only $12.  I have a
subscription (monthly issues of the latest) so I can easily keep my
five Linux machines up to date.
