 Thanks!
 
 Although I was hoping the kernel is at least 2.6.19 in the 4.0r1 release.

Etch, as several people have pointed out at you, will not include
newer upstream kernels - but this does not mean you cannot use them!
If you need to use a newer kernel with an Etch machine, you can
perfectly do so - it will not break.

Greetings,

You've been pointed to the Release Notes (which is the official
source) but you might also be interested in taking a look at
http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=debian . If you select
the 'show all packages' you will see the different 'linux' package
versions available for the Debian releases at a glance.
(Although it doesn't take into account that some Debian releases
supported both 2.4 and 2.6 series kernels)

Regards

Javier

The kernel was updated with r1, but not to a newer upstream. In principle 
Debian does not do that, although adding a newer kernel is being considered 
for roughly the beginning of 2008.

For info about what updates are included in point releases, you should check 
their release announcements which are linked from the home page under
News: http://www.debian.org/News/2007/20070817
You will find the kernel listed their for security updates.

If the orignal poster has requirements for a system with a newer kernel
and wants help with that, I'd suggest taking this discussion to the
debian-user list.
