I am using 2.6.7 which was installed by sarge-i386-netinst-daily-build.iso (04/08/04). I wish it were otherwise but I haven't knowingly changed any of those settings :-/ On the whole it's working well. A few things are bugging me, like the fan only coming on with a reboot, and sleep/suspend functionality entirely lacking. (This may simply be because I haven't figured out how to get them working yet, beyond passing acpi=force as a kernel boot-parameter to enable acpi).
