A few months back I was also unsure whether we should use the generic-
or server kernel for LTSP. I asked on the #ubuntu-kernel IRC channel,
and they assured me that for an LTSP server, the generic kernel is
definitely the preferred kernel. We've used the -server and the -generic
kernels in tuXlabs, but I haven't really noticed any big difference
between them. Both work better than the plain old i386 kernel, which is
due to the SMP support and large memory support.
