14 DAY TRIAL // Canonical has updated the Linux kernel for the Ubuntu 14.04 LTS development cycle, which is now using the latest stable 3.13.3 version, and it seems that we are in for a surprise.
Following on its promise to try to integrate the latest available Linux kernel into the upcoming Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr), Canonical is now updating it constantly with the most recent builds.
“We have packaged our 3.13.0-9.29 Trusty kernel and uploaded to our canonical-kernel-team ppa. This primarily pulls in the latest v3.13.3 upstream stable updates. We have also started tracking the v3.14 kernel and have recently rebased our unstable branch to v3.14-rc3,” said Canonical's Joseph Salisbury.
Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr) is expected to arrive on April 17, 2014. If everything goes according to plan and if Linus Torvalds doesn't stretch the development cycle for Linux 3.14, there is a very good chance that Ubuntu 14.04 will feature it.
In the end, it only depends on the number of Release Candidates for Linux kernel 3.14.
