The link I posted IMO is straight forward. The Ubuntu help is more detailed, perhaps useful if somebody should run into issues, but it also could scare or confuse users. Some advices, especially from the Ubuntu community, on official Ubuntu channels, are encouraging novices to learn. Those sites are monitored by the Ubuntu community. Even blogs that are not official Ubuntu channels, aren't necessarily bad. IMO at least "Cryptic Shell Commands There are various cryptic shell incantations floating around help sites and search engines that promise to remove older kernels. Copy-and-paste mysterious incantations into your system at your own risk." should read "Shell commands and scripts There are help sites that help to remove older kernels, too. Before you copy-and-paste or install scripts suggested by users of official Ubuntu channels, send a request to this channel, to ensure that you would do the right thing. Be even more careful with hints from websites, that aren't monitored by the Ubuntu community."
