Does anyone know of distributions (slackware, redhat, caldera)
that have a 2.0 kernel standard, w/ all the utilities that go
with it yet?

Debian and Redhat are the two distributions that I know that are using
the 2.0 kernel. Debian-1.1 comes with the 2.0 Kernel in its base
install.

With RedHat, you have to install the Redhat 3.0.3 distribution, and then
grab approximately 10 RPM packages to upgrade to the 2.0 kernel. All
you have to do is grab all of the files in:

ftp://ftp.redhat.com//pub/redhat-3.0.3/i386/updates/2.0-kernel/RPMS

Just put them in a directory, say /tmp/upgrade, and then run
"rpm --upgrade *". Quite easy!
