3.5.x is maintained by Canonical, not officially as a stable kernel (I have no idea why). 3.6.x isn't maintained any longer. Is this applicable to 3.4.x and 3.7.x? josh -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe stable" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
