kernel-desktop is a good choice for a desktop machine.
It used to be it was clear that was the case. Or maybe it was recently changed so that is now the case. I can't remember which, but I do remember there was a change discussed either here and/or on the factory list.
Executive Summary for Bob: -- Keep kernel-desktop and delete kernel-default. -- If you don't do so already, use the NVidia kmp packages from the community repository. For Felix: Maybe you mean this discussion: A few months ago, it was mentioned here that kernel-desktop is now the "new default" and should be used in most circumstances. kernel-default is primarly supplied for old hardware that doesn't have PAE capabilities. That the name "kernel-default" stuck for the non-default kernel and that the two names were not switched was then attested as unfortunate. It is something that the devs contemplated to change for enhanced clarity, but then decided that it was too much hassle for the gain. AFAIR, there were too many problems with dependencies or something like that. HTH, Joachim PS: Ignore BC, put him in a kill-file.
