Interesting one - looked at my old ubuntu 8.04 server.

Loads of installed kernel debs (not unexpected for its age).

But - is there any way to get apt-get to limit the max number, say to the 
last 3 latest (ie to "autoremove" old ones)? I've looked into this before 
via google, but not found an answer...

Cheers,

Tim
