a quick question,
Which header I should choose?
linux-headers-3.2.0-rc7-all_3.2~rc7-1~experimental.1_amd64.deb
This is a metapackage which includes all (for all of the available
architectures) of the headers packages.

linux-headers-3.2.0-rc7-amd64_3.2~rc7-1~experimental.1_amd64.deb
Individual package headers for amd64 arch.
linux-headers-3.2.0-rc7-common_3.2~rc7-1~experimental.1_amd64.deb
Commom files for headers (amd64 arch.)
linux-headers-3.2.0-rc7-rt-amd64_3.2~rc7-1~experimental.1_amd64.deb
Individual package headers for amd64 arch and RT kernel.
what does the last one mean, rt?
It should be for a _R_eal _T_ime kernel.
Hum... wait. There is/was no "real time" kernels compiled for Debian
unless this has changed recently :-?
and what's the difference among those,
The difference is the type of kernel you are currently using and what
kind of package do you need.

the one I built from kernel.org a bit heavy, took so much space. I am
not sure if I built from debian repository whether it will be light,
Mmmm... those kernel headers (compiled for 3.2.0-rc7) won't match your
current and self-compiled kernel (3.2.0-rc6).
