Hello Joseph, Thanks for emailing. I would love to test it, however, I'm not sure I'm capable.
Unfortunately, I am still a very newbie to the Ubuntu environment, and most of the information in the link you provided went over my head (that's after reading it twice). I have learnt from my experience with Ubuntu (been on it since 11:10) that it's better to have some understanding of the subject before tinkering. I learnt that the hard way. Once again, I'm willing, but don't think I'm capable just yet. Specifically, my worry is not being able to undo whatever I "do". Plus, I'm new to the whole terminal stuff. *Very newbie. *Best, Rahi *@ <https://twitter.com/RahiDelvi>RahiDelvi <https://twitter.com/RahiDelvi> | 647.378.5497 * On Tue, Nov 6, 2012 at 1:34 PM, Joseph Salisbury < [email protected]> wrote: > Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel?
