Isn't 2.4 the latest one in Debian? I briefly played with it in VMware 4.5
in Windows XP Home and on a Pentium 4. I think the kernel was at 2.4.21 or
something. And yes, I did an apt-get update and upgrade. So I assumed that
was the latest. I am also new to Debian since I am dumping old Red Hat
Linux 7.2.
