<div class="moz-cite-prefix">The common infrastructure notes are,
well, common, and we can't help them appearing in our release
notes. It's fair to expect we had noted this in the
Xubuntu-specific notes, but that slipped through. At this point,
after four point releases, and with three(!) of them this issue
being unnoticed, I don't think it makes much difference to change
the wording.<br>
<br>
However, you're welcome to help us in making sure the notes are
correct in the future. The team starts preparing release notes
usually about a week before any release, and pretty much final
ISOs are available at that time, so you can test them and join
#xubuntu-devel to discuss what should go into the release notes
and what not.<br>

<p>We should at least fix that if we feel Ubuntu 12.04.4 is the
wrong way to go and give some reason so the Ubuntu people have
a chance to learn from us. ;-)<br>

AFAIK, it's the only official member of the Ubuntu family with

<div>Xubuntu 12.04.4 is up to date *and* rock solid, with

<div>I agree fully with you: Xubuntu 12.04 should stay
on 3.2.0 kernel. But why should Xubuntu 12.04.4 stay
on it? If everybody can still use the 12.04 distro if
having driver trouble?<br>

<div>I don't agree with this. In my opinion,
Xubuntu 12.04 should stay with the
3.2.x-kernel. <br>
<br>
Because it's currently the only kernel (plus
the X.org version that goes with it) that
still supports the restricted nvidia-96 driver
for old Nvidia video cards. Same goes for
third-party SiS 671 drivers.<br>

Xubuntu 12.04.4 LTS does not support the
hardware stack Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS
supports. It stays on the 3.2.0 kernel
instead. What is the process to have this
fixed? Withdraw Xubuntu 12.04.4 LTS or
create a Xubuntu 12.04.4a LTS? I am ready
to fix this distro (at least for 686 and
amd64 architectures) and make it available
for download through my FTP and HTTP
servers. What is the correct process for
this?<br>
