Now I understood what you are looking for. If you like interactive
programs more then you can use aptitude to install packages from
terminal. Just do 'sudo aptitude'.

In case you just want a simple command use command 'sudo apt-get
install linux-image-generic'. linux-image-generic is a meta packages
which always depends on latest kernel for the ubuntu version you are
using and other related packages like restricted modules.

Hope this helps.

Most of the update managers will keep updates of kernels like in ubuntu(as
per my knowledge) .
Which distro do you use?

 I am not completely able to understand what exactly you are trying to
 do but what does 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' command do in your case?

 Hi,

1) You want the latest version available in ubuntu's official repositories?
2) Or the latest stable release from kernel.org?
3) Or the cutting edge git checkout?

For 1, you will need to run upgrades. In case you want a kernel from a
higher release without upgrading full distro, i.e. if you're using
hardy but want the kernel bundled with intrepid, you need to look at
apt-pinning[1].

For 2, you can download the kernel from kernel.org[2], configure it
using make menuconfig or make xconfig. Then you can use package
management tools to package it as a deb, but this will be a lengthy
process as you will have to compile the packages. Also, for newbies it
takes quite a few trial and errors to get a working config. You could
search for custom kernel compilation with ubuntu. Couple of useful
links I could find are on howtoforge[3] and ubuntuforums[4].

For 3, you will need to install git[5] from ubuntu repositories[6] and
checkout the latest kernel source then compile it using the method
shown in reference 3. You can also view git users documentation on
kernel.org[7].

All this said and done, what is your primary reason for wanting to
upgrade to a newer kernel, once the reason is stated people would get
a clearer idea and give better suggestions.

I asked for the reason, that if you had some good reason then people
could have guided you better. Since you want to just play around with
it, you can try either or all of those methods. Just keep your current
kernel intact, it's risk free. Just install a new kernel and add it's
entry in grub. If it doesn't work then select the entry for the
working kernel.

OK then. I guess I'll try compiling the latest version from kernel.org.

Thanks guys.
