If you install sarge with the default options it installs kernel 2.4, but
it is easy (like all installations in sarge) to install the 2.6 kernel. If
you want to use synaptic search for "kernel-image". If you use apt-get do
apt-get install kernel-image-2.6-686, for example. I'm not sure what kind
of hardware you have they have different kernel images for older machines
and for AMD microprocessors.
