I have following linux kernel files in my /boot folder. What is the difference between these two kernels? What is the advantage disadvantage of using them? -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1330828 2006-07-18 05:44 vmlinuz-2.6.16.21-0.13-smp -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1399379 2006-07-18 05:45 vmlinuz-2.6.16.21-0.13-xen - Jack
