What you have works. Synaptic doesn't suggest things that work *better*
per se. Much like most linux distros never touch the hard drive and use
things like hdparm.

Interesting followup.  Yesterday I loaded a Kubuntu 386 on an 1 GHz P3 machine.  When I ran its updater, it DID suggest a 686 kernel as one of the many updates.  A fact I did not notice at the time since I just accepted all updates without looking through them.  It wasn't until later that I saw the GRUB menu list had the 686 kernel on top.
