I made the mistake one time of removing the active kernel under Ubuntu so I had to create a DVD recovery disk. With Ubuntu I use the Synaptic Package manager to uninstall old kernel images since I had a limited about of space in my boot partition. I have a new laptop that I bought in October so I have not had to delete any Kernels right now.
