(NOTE: The one thing I cannot vouch for is that kernel-source-2.4.18 and kernel-image-2.4.18-k7 packages actually match up. I always compile my own kernels after installing, so I have no actual experience with using the Debian kernel-image-* packages.)
yup, I suggest the same. get your own kernel sources and compile them. if you get a 2.6 series kernel, you need to upgrade a few packages on the system( the version numbr of the software required is found in the sources in /Documentation/Changes.I suggest you get a 2.6, it's worth the download and you will really feel the difference and also the 5336 version has support for the 2.6 series and I see no reason you shuld not take advantage of this.
I haven't myself switched to the 2.6.x kernel series yet, but I have seen reports warning of problems with some external add-in modules, including the nvidia drivers ... showing up as high CPU loads caused, I think, by context switching not being handled efficiently. (Also problems with ivtv and lirc, if memory serves, and maybe some of the wlan stuff.)
Caution ... or, better, patience, as this stuff will certainly get worked out ... *may* be indicated here.
Joy - do you actually have an nvidia framebudffer module running with 2.6.x?
