Stable Debian is 3.0r4 released on 1 January 2005.  Debian supports many
hardware architectures, some of which only have a 2.2 kernel.  Debian
3.0 was originally released 19 July 2002 so the default install kernel
is a 2.2 based kernel, however a 2.4 kernel is optional and available on
x86 hardware at boot time.
