No major difference to all purposes? In particular, using the system for 
computation (mpqc2.3.1) without X, aimed at the highest possible floating

I am just reinstalling amd64 on dual opteron (hope the old net installer - 19 
July - works; the newest does not, as I have reported. Therefore, I am 
interested in replacing the generic kernel that has been just installed.
