Again, from a business perspective you'd never sell Debian as a viable,
supported alternative to the pinhead suits.

They're getting better, it's just not considered viable on a widespread
basis yet.

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.
