Kernel updates in Ubuntu

[John McGregor]

I recently switched to Ubuntu 5.1 on my laptop (from Mandriva) and the
kernel updates offered have me a bit confused. The auto update function
of Ubuntu lists these three possibilities:

linux-386
complete linux kernel on 386
new version 2.6.12.16.1

linux-image-2.6.12-10-386
linux kernel image for version 2.6.12 on 386
new version 2.6.12-10.28

linux-image-386
linux-kernel-image on 396
new version 2.6.12.16.1

Which of these, if any, should I select? My confusion comes from my
experience with Mandrake / Mandriva which offered only single kernel
updates ( and they were uncommon), so my knowledge of updating kernels
is fairly limited.

Thanks in advance

John
