It is the default kernel on Woody. I expect source to it. In fact, if source is not available, Debian is in violation of the GPL. Plus, benchmarks I have seen indicate that 2.2 runs better on older hardware, 486s in this case. 2.6 is available Real Soon Now. I need to tweak the kernel today. When I have that working, I will probably jump to the latest 2.2.x. That's supposed to be one of the great selling points for Linux and Debian, no forced obsolescence. You saying that's a lie?
