Tthis is a brand new install....first walk, then run. Alas, the system only crawls :-<
The only philosophical basis is that 2.4 it is what the installer installs...and that dist-upgrade doesn't see fit to upgrade it.
The secondary reason is that the machine is destined for a rural area with 9.6k dial-up access--maybe 14k on a good day. Those comm rates make ''stable'' a highly desireable feature.
