Joseph,

I was able to (on my Dell XPS 18 touch) use Windows 8.1 to reduce/shrink
the WIndows OS partition, and give me space to install Ubuntu Saucy
13.10 on the local disk so that I could add the .deb upstream updated
kernel and reboot to it.    Here's the kernel it's running (below):

@ubuntusaucy:~$ uname -a
Linux ubuntusaucy 3.11.10-03111006-generic #201403120635 SMP Wed Mar 12 10:35:55 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

However, this unfortunetly did NOT allow the Ubuntu 13.10 Saucy version
with this latest upstream kernel to enable touchscreen on the Dell XPS
18.  So no go.       In fact, while using it, Unity locked up and
rebooted itself several times.     I do not think that happened with
Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty which worked great, touchscreen and all.
