Wise choice on RedHate.

You need to upgrade to unstable, or whatever it's called. I don't have debian
anymore (it went bye-bye with my old laptop), but someone here can tell you
how to do that. That will give you the 2.4 kernel (you've got a 2.2 now), and
more recent applications.

default?

Probably you'll have to install the kernel sources. I'd wait until you
upgraded, though.
