Description:

This package contains the Linux kernel that is used to boot and run
your system.

Most hardware drivers for this kernel are built as modules. Some of
these drivers are built separately from the kernel; they are available
in separate packages (kernel-modules-*-std-pae).

The "std" variant of kernel packages is a generic 2.6.x kernel which
should support wide range of hardware, but does not contain patches
which are useful only for some special applications (and may have
undesirable side effects in other cases). This is the default 2.6.x
kernel variant for ALT Linux distributions.

This kernel build for PAE systems. If you have more then 2Gb of memory use
this kernel.
