I notice that GRUB (or is it GRUB2?) asks which version of Linux I'd like to boot, and outdated versions of the kernel are listed. How do I remove these and their associated files to save disk space? Since I'm new to Linux, is there any reason why I shouldn't remove them?

You're welcome! – BloodPhilia May 20 '10 at 17:54
To summarize what's found at the link: Use the Synaptic package manager to uninstall the old kernels. – Dennis Williamson May 20 '10 at 22:07
No, it also explains why old kernels are not automatically deleted... – BloodPhilia May 20 '10 at 22:20
