"PPA for Ubuntu Kernel PPA"

[Jan Henke]

Hi,

I understand that. But is there no official way for ubuntu users to stay
with the latest stable version, currently Natty, and still get regular
Kernel updates. i.e. each time a new major version is officially released?

I am certain that I am not the only person looking to get the
improvements in the kernel development on their machine as soon as the
are released and do not want to wait another half a year or so for the
next complete Ubuntu release. I mean with a PPA I certainly don't expect
any official support in case of problems.

Especially for people using new hardware, which need the latest kernel
to run linux on their machines, otherwise the required modules would be
missing.

Regards
Jan
