You have no hope of running a 2.6 kernel on stable, I think. If I was going to pick a kernel for a stable machine, I'd probably pick a 2.4 kernel (2.4.23 if you're compiling your own, the Debian 2.4.18-1 with the brk() fix if you want to use a precompiled on). Upgrading kernels is relatively painless on Debian, at least. >> 5) I need to stop drinking liquids now if I plan on sitting through the 3.5 >> hour "Lord of the Rings."
