Hello,
After a fresh installation, the updater maintains: kernel and kernel-PAE
I guess that I do not need both kernels. How can I manage it?
Thank.

A valid workaround could be adding the following line on the */etc/yum.conf* :
exclude=kernel-PAE*
Hope it helps.

Depends on which you want to keep?
Google kernel vs kernel-PAE, keep the most suitable for you. yum erase the other.

* which Fedora version * which CPU architecture * what says "rpm -qa | grep kernel"
i guess because there is a PAE legacy i686 normally you should go with PAE except on very old machines

Let me agree completely, without PAE you can only have 4GB physical memory, and even that is not used optimally. There are a few other things changed which are not of interest to most people, but in general if your CPU has the feature you should use it.
The article gives a bunch of detail, but the bottom line is that your system works and better and can use more memory.

If you are seeing a pae kernel, you must have a 32-bit Linux installation. If you have a 64-bit CPU (and ONLY then) you can use the pae kernel, which will give you access to memory above the 3.6GB that a 32-bit CPU is limited to, and so you should then use that kernel.
