Re: Newer kernels?

Just Use The Update Feature.. and It will pick the best (Stable) version of the Kernel.. and will update to that version.. :-)

Because Ubuntu is locked into a 6month release cycle - they freeze their kernel. Meaning 2.6.35 will never make it's way into the default 10.04 updates. This kernel brings a slew of new features (including better FOSS drivers for ATI and Intel graphics cards) and multi touch support for alot of touch screens.

So depending on your hardware and what you do, upgrading to this kernel could be useful.

Actually I have 10.10 installed on one of my partitions and the latest kernel avail works great with my machine
