Why is the Desktop Kernel installed?

EDIT: my other machine came up with the proper kernel, there must be somthing wrong with my iso. I dont remeber where I downloaded it from... But i do remeber why i didnt d/l it form ubuntu.com

I cannot wget ubuntu 10.04 server from this page. http://www.ubuntu.com/download/server/download the Direct url for this download link works in the browser, but with wget It gives me 11.10 server.

Tldr this link works in the browser, not from wget. wget http://www.ubuntu.com/start-download?distro=server&bits=64&release=lts

"I cannot wget ubuntu 10.04 server from this page. http://www.ubuntu.com/download/server/download the Direct url for this download link works in the browser, but with wget It gives me 11.10 server".

If you use the drop down box you can get the 10.04LTS. It shows the 11.10 first

I just use whatever kernel is in the default repos. Less work that way. There really isn't a reason to use a different kernel unless you are running into problems, or your hardware isn't supported by the kernel you are using.
