hasn't been released yet, and Debian stable uses a 2.2 kernel still.


As much as I hate "distribution wars":

While it's true that 2.2 is the default kernel(is this still the case? I know you can use 'bf24' to boot directly into a 2.4 kernel),changing to a 2.4 kernel is as easy as an apt-get.

This is _no_ different than updating your kernel on a RedHat box, or even downloading the source and compiling your own.
