Hello Linux Geeksters. The Linux Kernel 3.0.84 has became stable. It was used by default on Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric Ocelot. The release comes with fixes and improvements only.
The booting process is faster on the kernel 3.0 series than on the newest kernels. Your laptop drivers may not have good support for this kernel, but the Linux Kernel 3.0.84 is very good on servers.
