You are correct, you should use the most recent kernel 
/boot/grub/menu.lst contains the bootloader configuration, make a backup copy of it and then you can remove the following
Ubuntu 8.10, Kernel 2.6.27-7-generic
Ubuntu 8.10, Kernel 2.6.27-7-generic (recovery mode)
Ubuntu 8.10, Kernel 2.6.24-16-generic
Ubuntu 8.10, Kernel 2.6.24-16-generic (recovery mode)
You can also remove memtest
Do not remove
Ubuntu 8.10, Kernel 2.6.27-11-generic
Ubuntu 8.10, Kernel 2.6.27-11-generic (recovery mode)
Other operating systems:
Windows Vista/Longhorn (loader)
Trying to use the windows boatloader for Ubuntu is not a good idea, GRUB is much better.
Windows will blow away GRUB if you ever install windows on the same drive again.
If that happens, you can boot from the Ubuntu live CD and run "/sbin/grub-install /dev/sda" to fix it.
Good luck
