Isn't he already running Debian?  Doesn't *everyone* already run 
Debian????

But seriously, from this page http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages 
you can search for packages.

Specifically, this is what OP needs:
http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=linux-image&searchon=names&suite=testing&section=all

Of course, since he doesn't run Debian, he doesn't know to search 
for "linux-image".  Shame on him!!!
