Kernel choices

[Jim Hall <volunteer@revealed.net>]

I've looked through the 2.6 kernel choices (x86 arch) and found the 
following.

kernel-image-2.6-386 (generic vanilla)

kernel-image-2.6-686 (Celeron/PII to P4)

kernel-image-2.6-k7 (AMD Duron/Athlon)


At the moment, the systems I'm dealing with fall into the 2nd & 3rd 
catagories. Is there an advantage to using those specific kernels 
instead of the 2.6-386? Is the CPU specificity that much "better" than 
the generic?
