<p>We should at least fix that if we feel Ubuntu 12.04.4 is the

chance to learn from us. ;-)<br>

Currently, Xubuntu 12.04 is in the unique position that is has
both point releases and the original LTS kernel. AFAIK, it's the
only official member of the Ubuntu family with these features.

<div>Xubuntu 12.04.4 is up to date *and* rock solid, with
optimal compatibility for older hardware. Therefore an
excellent choice for those who need to replace Windows XP on
their machines: a huge potential user base! </div>

</div>
<div>If Xubuntu 12.04.4 would make the "kernel jump" just like
Ubuntu, it's compatibility with older XP machines would
decrease noticeably.</div>

<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>

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
