Wasn't sarge the last debian distribution to support the 2.4 kernel series?

That might have been quite a good reason for delaying upgrades (third party anyone?).

I found debian upgrades quite painless ... just the Kernel issue is a hard limit.

Well, I guess I have to bite the carrot ....

For what it's worth, I'm running an etch server on a 2.4 kernel with no problems. No udev, obviously, but it's a server, so who cares? So long as glibc and the core system utilities (e.g. filesystem stuff) maintains compatibility, no problem.
