Which spins update kernel using DU?
How can I tell which spins will update to a new kernel using Dist-upgrade?

I'm not sure if any do.
I think some old ones do.

I think wux is right; most, if not all of the spins have a set kernel. It is easy to change any of them to use a rolling kernel (always installing the latest available). For example, to always use the latest vanilla Debian 686 kernel, just install "linux-image-686" or "linux-image-686-pae" and update grub to pick up the new kernel.

Thanks. My Trollinger install updates, didn't know whether any others. I checked Debian's kernel upgrade guide, was astonished to see so many options. Up to that pont, I'd always thought that a kernel was just one single, invariable thing. The Debian guide made me think that I'd stumbled into Gentoo!
Re: Which spins update kernel using DU?
my trollinger also automatically updates the kernel as does bakewell.

Re: Which spins update kernel using DU?
Right, it must have been around 3.7 that I changed to static kernel in the releases because they started to misbehave.
sudo apt-get install linux-image-siduction-686(-pae) will give you rolling kernels.
