Yes it did, an dit still does (it was the default install kernel with etch). I use both debian etch and fedora6 on this computer. With fedora 2.6.18 and 2.6.20 work as well, although boot on debian is a bit longer (I think both distributions simply don't boot the same way and the difference is not particular to this computer).
I have seen many (ubuntu/debian) people complain that their computer got very slow after moving to dapper/etch. The solution somebody offered was to use the 486 and this seems to work for 2.6.18 at least. Hopefully 2.6.20-686 works though Preben
