Etch has been out for quite a while now. Can I have 2.6.x kernel? apt-cache is your friend. It should tell you whether a 2.6 binary kernel is in Sarge. If not, you could alwways d/l the 2.6 source from kernel.org. But then, you will probably have to upgrade to Etch because of new features in the kernel that are incompatible with older libraries. how can I get it?

In fact, Etch's release notes tell you to be using a 2.6 kernel before you upgrade. Just use your usual package manager and search for the 2.6 kernel meta-package. However, note that there are huge differences in module handling between 2.4 and 2.6. A more considered opinion would require us to know why you are still using old-stable (Sarge, 3.1) instead of stable (Etch, 4.0).

Sure :-) I Googled a bit and found that the 80386 was first released in 1986. So that's pretty ancient. I had no idea. I come from the Amiga world (Motorola). Well, in the end, every now and then a good laugh keeps you vital. Here's a good one I found somewhere on the web: A comp tech wants to play a word game with his colleague: who can come up with the best oxymoron. So he starts off with Military Intelligence. After some thinking, his colleague replied with Microsoft Works ... and won the game. Greetings, Manon.
