Kernel-image: 2.6-686 vs 2.6.8-2-686

[rds <rustydstone@yahoo.com>]

Hi,

Would someone clarify what kernel-image needs to be installed to keep the
system updated when new kernel are made available?

I installed kernel-image-2.6.8-2-686 and everything is working fine. From the
package descriptions it appears that kernel-image-2.6-686 is the package that
always points to the latest available kernel image, thus automatically
upgrading kernel whenever "aptitude upgrade" is run.

Should I have installed kernel-image-2.6-686 instead of
kernel-image-2.6.8-2-686 to ensure that aptitude upgrades the kernel image
whenever a newer version is available?

Thanks in advance
