Hey,

I think that is quite long, but actually when I was talking to Arne, he
came up with the following idea:

Why name the PAE-kernel kernel-PAE when PAE is only one of the features
it comes with and is the default one. It would be much better to call if
the default kernel. Nothing else.

That would imply that we need to rename the other version, which is a
bit hard to do, because I have not found a simply and cheesy name that
is to the point. Any suggestions?
