My boot menu has the following entries (plus recovery mode), I always
default to entry 0. What are the others and how do I delete unwanted
ones?

'Debian GNU/Linux, with Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64'
'Debian GNU/Linux, with Linux 3.2.0-0.bpo.4-rt-amd64'
'Debian GNU/Linux, with Linux 3.2.0-0.bpo.4-amd64'
'Debian GNU/Linux, with Xen 4.1-amd64 and Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64'
'Debian GNU/Linux, with Xen 4.1-amd64 and Linux 3.2.0-0.bpo.4-rt-amd64'
'Debian GNU/Linux, with Xen 4.1-amd64 and Linux 3.2.0-0.bpo.4-amd64'



remove the corresponding kernel package and the menu items will be
removed

for example:
$ apt-get purge linux-image-3.2.0-0-bpo.4-amd64

success,

Ok, and which one's should I purge if I have no idea what the
differences are?
bpo?
rt?
xen?



if you don't have any fancy settings/ options/ wishes such as a
real time audio server (rt), virtual servers (Xen), etc. I recommend you
purge all packages and keep the first one (Debian GNU/Linux,
with Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64) (bpo are the backport versions, but the "normal"
is newer than the backport version)

success,

Ok, here's a screenshot of my pending synaptic changes. I got no warnings. Does everything look ok?
