    'uname -a' is a little less cryptic (it throws in a few human-readable
    words). But if that's what uname prints on your system, you seem to be
    running a 2.2 kernel.

    I don't know how much you know or what you're trying to accomplish, but
    the net install CD for Sarge does a pretty painless job of installing a
    2.4 or 2.6 (you pick it) kernel system on your machine.
