I installed Ubutnu 9.10 Server on my Dell Server for LAMP & OpenSSH server. After the install was complete, I noticed the the kernel installed on the server was 2.26.31-14-generic instead of 2.26.31-14-server.

I am wondering why would generic kernel be installed from ubuntu-server 9.10 cd? And how do go about chaning to server kernel? Or do I even need to do that? Would generic kernel work as server kernel ?

Thanx.

Are you sure you installed the Server iso?

I run PAE kernel

Yes I did install Server ISO. But It shows the kernel being generic which is used for desktop installation



Linux ubuntu 2.6.32-22-generic-pae #35-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jun 1 15:47:31 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux



what adavantage does the server kernel have over generic? I am running LAMP and Openssh Server on this machine.

Thanx
