De kernel in Ubiuntu, is dat gewoon een standaard kernel zoals je die van
www.kernel.org kunt downloaden?
Of heeft de Ubuntu community zijn eigen aanpassingen in de standaard kernel aangebracht?
In het eerste geval is het redelijk simpel zelf een kernel te bakken om niet te hoeven wachten...
EDIT
http://kernel-handbook.alioth.debian.org/ch-source.htmlThe kernels in Debian are distributed in binary form, built from the Debian kernel source. It is important to recognize that Debian kernel source may be (and in most cases is) different from the upstream (or "pristine") kernel source, distributed from
www.kernel.org and its mirrors. Due to licensing restrictions, unclear license information, or failure to comply with the Debian Free Software Guidelines (DFSG), parts of the kernel are removed in order to distribute the source in the main section of the Debian archive. Such removal produces linux-2.6_version.orig.tar.gz tarball, which serves as the original upstream source. version is the actual upstream version. For the details on how the removal is implemented, see the description of linux-patch-debian package in Architecture-independent packages, Section 3.2.
