I downloaded the latest 'Squeeze' Netinst ISO from the Debian site and
after the install was complete, noticed in the Grub kernel list it had
installed a Trunk kernel and was told by many that this is a dated
kernel and should not be used. Is this true? Why am I still getting
this 'Trunk' kernel from a Netint CD for a fresh install?

Anyone know?

Yes, this is true.

Probably because you are using a di-alpha1 ISO, and this is _not_
the latest but rather outdated (almost six months old). You could use a
weekly or daily build instead.
