Contributors: AndyWhitcroft
Packages affected: linux
Summary
Discuss the mainline baseline version for Natty. Also discuss the current kernel flavours for each architecture.
Release Note
None.
Kernel Version
Discussions on which mainline kernel base is appropriate for Natty. As Natty is not an LTS we do not require a specific version for alignment upstream. Therefore we will be using the latest version released at kernel freeze.
