Currently on the Power Edge 1950's that I have I'm running Kernel 2.6.15-28-server.

Is there a howto/setup page already published on upgrading (or finding the latest 2.x.xx-xx-server kernel)?

Thanks guys.

You mention, 2.x.xx-xx-server, which implies you want a ubuntu-specific packaging of the kernel. Am I correct? If so, there are rules for issuing an updated kernel, as well as a general timeline: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelServerRoadmap (ubuntu server roadmap)

If you want to ignore the ubuntu repositories, check out kernel.org

I would definitely want to stick with an ubuntu specific packaging of the kernel to try and minimize any issues in the future.

Thanks for the link though, looks like its about two years old. : (
