I think the most stable would still be 2.6.6 (think it was development-sources which don't exist anymore?). It ran perfectly on my U60 with allmost the same specs as yours, except mine had 1GB RAM and had two 18GB drives in RAID0. I have no idea what PROM version I had, but it sure wasn't the latest around.
