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.
