Hi Luis!

tmac@asus ~$ uname -a
Linux asus 2.6.32-3-amd64 #1 SMP Wed Feb 24 18:07:42 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux

It is from the Debian package linux-image-2.6.32-3-amd64, with Debian version 
number 2.6.32-9. At the same time I have the corresponding kernel header 
packages installed:

linux-headers-2.6.32-3-common (Debian version 2.6.32-9)
linux-headers-2.6.32-3-amd64 (Debian version 2.6.32-9)
