Hi Lance,

I'd be most interested to know if the new kernel has made things better, or
worse. If there is a regression, then caught soon enough; it can be flagged
as one. Leave it too long and they will not look into it.

The new kernel for everyone was released today.... strike while the iron
that forges the kernels is still hot!!! Full "it worked on this kit
(hardware profile) at THIS time, it failed on kernel update at THIS time.

Having your full profile, if you have not already done so, is a really
important thing for the devs. Apart from giving them all the information
that they need, it shows willing.

What started out as the lubuntu PPC area is now requested by all testers
across all flavours.... https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/Hardware Perfect it
is not, but as it says... it is the best (read as ONLY) thing we have.

Regards,

Phill.
