I have just done an upgrade of Debian Squeeze to Wheezy on my VPS using
the net install option. Everything seems to have gone well (cross
everything, touch wood etc). Before doing the reinstall I read all the wiki
articles and so on. I don't know much about kernels, but all the wiki notes
talk about using the -bigmem flavour, though the installer installed -pae
flavour. Everything seems to be working OK. Have I just been reading old
instructions? Or should I be looking to install a different one?

They are synonymous.
P(hysical)A(ddress)E(xtension) is in essence a kind of hack to allow greater than ~4GB ram
which is the addressing limit under 32bit OSs. PAE enabled kernel is also called bigmem
(big memory).

Thanks Luke.
As I said, I don't know much about kernels
