What's the difference between linux distro and linux kernel

[Vipul Jain <vipulsj@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All,

   I would like to know what's the difference between a linux distribution and linux kernel.
   Secondly, if I would like to add an binary in the /boot directory of a particular distribution
   as part of make command (i.e. when I building the kernel image vmlinux) is it possible?

Regards,
Vipul.
