Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.31-14-generic
Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.31-14-generic (recovery mode)
Memory test (memtest86+)
Memory test (memtest86+, serial console 115200)
Windows 7 (loader) (on /dev/sda1)
I'm not sure if there is something wrong with this; why is there an option for Linux 16 and then for 14? At the moment I'm booting into Ubuntu using Linux 16.
I'm a sticker for looks and would prefer reducing it down just to:
Windows 7
Ubuntu
Thanks a lot.
Those are kernels. It is suggested/recommended to have at least 2 kernel versions just in case your current one borks.
