I'm running 2.2.0pre4 on Slink right now with no apparent problems, so
even though Slink won't likely ship with 2.2, you can upgrade easily.
I compiled and installed this kernel using Debian kernel-package.

Check out the kernel's CHANGES file to see other upgrades needed to make
the jump to 2.1/2.2:

Make sure you read this before you report any problems.

As far as I can tell, the only package in Slink that doesn't make the
cut version-wise is sysutils; 'procinfo' segfaults on the newer kernels.
It's something most people can live without, although it's nice.
