In case those reading don't recall, the OP was written by a virtually blind person who struggles to do anything at all with his computer. All the noise in this thread just makes it that much harder for him to get his problem solved. Whether his 2GB RAM 64 bit AMD ordinary desktop system should be running the "default" kernel or the "desktop" kernel is the _only_ thing he needs to know for purposes of this thread.
And I suggested the "desktop" version which I have read here was appropriate for nearly anything the *normal* user would need including running mail/web/ftp server(s).

Running 1`2.1 with KDE3
Last night I did a zypper 'up' zypper downloaded TWO kernels. kernel-default and kernel-desktop. Now I;m havinf trouble with my nvidia drivers. I guess it's confused.
So which is the correct one for 12.1 ?
both but you probably should be using desktop don't know about kde3 </quote>
And you have denied the answer as ?? vague or .....
Your use of the word "probably" made http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2012-02/msg00173.html equivocal. Maybe if you or someone else in thread had explained a use case for 64 bit kernel-default or why a recent fresh install of 64 bit 12.1 would have resulted in both kernel-default and kernel-desktop being installed on the very same system it might have been less so. Looking a the descriptions in YaST and seeing the descriptions for kernel-desktop and kernel-default in 11.4 & 12.1, the reason for the existence of kernel-default appears to me ambiguous at best. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
