You have no hope of running a 2.6 kernel on stable, I think. If I was
going to pick a kernel for a stable machine, I'd probably pick a 2.4
kernel (2.4.23 if you're compiling your own, the Debian 2.4.18-1 with
the brk() fix if you want to use a precompiled on). Upgrading kernels
is relatively painless on Debian, at least.

That's very definitely sound advice. :-)
