Hi All, With the Ubuntu 11.04 Beta-1 release approaching, the Ubuntu Kernel Team felt this would be an appropriate time to officially announce that the Ubuntu 11.04 kernel will be based on the 2.6.38 mainline kernel. The decision to target a 2.6.38 kernel was made during the Kernel Version and Flavors session [1] at UDS-Natty in Orlando, Florida. As Ubuntu 11.04 is not an LTS release and given the timing of the upstream kernel release, the Ubuntu Kernel Team felt that targeting the 2.6.38 kernel would provide our users the best support for new hardware, driver updates, and bug fixes. Going forward, we'll continue to update the Ubuntu 11.04 kernel with the upstream 2.6.38.y stable releases. For those seeking the fine grained details of all the changes provided in the Ubuntu 11.04 kernel, please refer to the git repository [2].
