 Old kernel.  I have:

 This has all the known security fixes applied to the stable version of

DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #105 from Michael Perry [EMAIL PROTECTED]
:
How can you DELETE OLD MESSAGES IN MUTT?  You can have your
.muttrc set up to automatically do this.  I have my debian
mailing list messages delete after a period of time by adding
the following to my .muttrc file.  I also have read debian list
messages move after I read them...  This only means I have to
manually enter the old folder for mutt to manage the deletions
for me.
mbox-hook =spam /home/mperry/oldmail/spamread
mbox-hook =debianstuff /home/mperry/oldmail/debianread
That moves the read mail to another folder... and then
folder-hook /home/mperry/mail/spam 'push D~r10d!~F\n'
folder-hook /home/mperry/oldmail/debianread 'push D~r30d!~F\n'
Here it automatically deletes messages older than 30 days. See
the manual (/usr/share/doc/mutt/html) for more info.

 That's the build date. Remember that the last stable release was
 released in July 2002 ...
 

There are more recent builds (with security patches applied) that are
in the security archives, or you can use make-kpkg to compile more
recent kernel *versions* (see www.kernel.org for the current versions)
from sources.

That's when it was compiled.  No, it's not the most recent version, go
browse through aptitude and you'll see more than one version of
kernel-image...
