I have been misunderstanding the kernel version sequence numbers. I assumed was 3.2 newer than 3.13 since it is the larger number. Googling has told me not to view number to the right of the "." as decimals. So I have on the Asus Ubuntu's latest. Why does my desktop have 3.2? I would expect that routine updates would include the kernel. I guess I will sit pat for a while at least, as the machine works for what I want right now. -Denis _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
