Sick of all your different kernel versions showing up on your boot menu? Just want your latest one to show up, but don’t want to deal with removing old kernels every time you update? It’s easy!

Save the script, run update-grub and you’re done! Your boot menu should now show only the latest kernel for your Ubuntu install. I’m guessing this will work for just about any distro that uses Grub2, although I’ve only tested it on Ubuntu.
