Which kernel to use for SMP 64-bit Xeon?

[rif]

I'm running 64-bit Dapper on a dual dual-core Xeon machine, and I'm not sure which kernel package to use. Looking at the package list, I see a linux-amd64-k8-smp package, and I see a linux-amd64-xeon package (implying k8 and xeon want different kernels), and I don't see a linux-amd64-xeon-smp package. Any suggestions? Do I have to build my own kernel for this?

install them linux-amd64-xeon kernel. that kernel should be optimized for your cpu,and smp capable aswell.

How do you choose that kernel? Do you do it after you install or do you do it before?

after


sudo apt-get install linux-amd64-xeon
