The one I downloaded and renamed was 20100926_001914 I saw there is an update utility in the project android program on WinMo. Does this update you to the latest build or is it better to install the cab? Thanks.
To update the kernel you just download the new package, extract the zImage and modules to where you run Android, and make sure the zImage is named "zImage" - unless you adjust your startup.txt. The modules file need not be renamed.

The update utility you speak of is nice, but to my knowledge it does not work correctly & corrupts the startup.txt if you use it... So until the dev updates it, don't use it. Same goes for the cab, as I believe the cab creates a shortcut to this utility.
