sudo apt-get autoremove linux-image-2.6.27-11-generic
linux-image-2.6.27-9-generic linux-image-2.6.28-11-generic
linux-image-2.6.27-7-generic linux-image-2.6.28-12-generic
Will bin all of them except the most recent two (2.6.28-13 and -14).
Alternatively there's a package in the repo called computer janitor
which will list all orphaned packages and let you remove them easily
with the GUI.
Cheers,
Al.
