    apt-get will be doing updates to your kernel; problem is, I doubt
    there are any. The kernel packages are generally version specific;
    for example, kernel 2.4.18 is in a different package than kerenl
    2.4.26. However, any fixes for 2.4.18 will result in a new version of
    that package. `apt-get search kernel-image` to show the available
    kernels, and then select one to install. Be careful, though, as
    updating from a 2.2 kernel to a 2.4 kernel will be quite a change.
