Thanks everybody. This one as well as other messages have been lovely pieces 
of advice. I'll be looking forward to try it in some servers next week, I 
didn't know this method and it's great!! (I was thinking of upgrading a farm 
of servers with a self-made, personal repository of debs, and kernel was the 
only thing I coulndn't deal with so far).

Thanks again to all for your attention

Yours,
