Blijkbaar worden de nieuwe kernels ook naar 12.04 vrijgegeven, of dit automatisch gaat weet ik niet.

LXF: Looking towards the server, I know recently that you increased your support life cycle to five years…
JS: Our LTS releases used to be three years on the desktop and five on the server, and we made two changes. One was bringing the desktop up to five years, and that was in response to enterprise demand.
And the second change we made was to make a stronger commitment around making those LTS versions available on new hardware as it comes out, so that people can get hardware refreshes and still maintain a stable software platform across the enterprise.
So we'll make the 12.10 kernel work with 12.04 and the 13.04 kernel work with 12.04. So if you need that kernel for hardware support, it will be available.
