[nflug] ubuntu kernel upgrade

[John Seth]

If you are trying to obtain a kernel newer than what your Linux distro 
uses, then you most likely will not find in on any apt-get, yum, or rpm 
repositories, except for unsupported builds.  You can download and 
compile your own kernel, though it's generally not for the novice... If 
you don't mind playing around and a few crashes and/or reinstalls, then 
give it a whirl, you've got nothing to lose and everything to gain.

Personally, I use Slackware Linux and have 2.6.14 installed, though the 
latest supported kernel for Slackware is 2.6.13 & 2.4.31.  In those 
cases, compiling from scratch is the way to go if you want to be 
bleeding edge.  It's also a good way to get a kernel that supports your 
hardware and nothing else... Some folks swear that it greatly increases 
their system speed, others say that the difference is negligible.
