linux-server or linux-virtual for VMware cloud?

[Pandu Poluan]

I think I found the answer to my question:

http://askubuntu.com/questions/18593/which-kernel-to-use-for-server-vm-running-on-esx

I quote:

linux-virtual: This is the server kernel, with most drivers stripped.
It only has the drivers needed to run as a guest in the most popular
virtual machines like KVM, Xen, and VMWare. Source.

So, I guess I should use linux-virtual

Am I right?

Rgds,
