Ubuntu 14.10 "Utopic Unicorn" will be based on Linux Kernel 3.16 RC3


Ubuntu Kernel Team officially announces that upcoming Ubuntu 14.10 "Utopic Unicorn" distro will be based on latest Linux Kernel 3.16 series. As you know that Linus Torvalds working on latest Linux Kernel 3.16 series and announces the release of Kernel 3.16 at particular time period. Currently, Linux Kernel 3.16 RC6 was released, but Ubuntu developers are planning to introduce Linux Kernel 3.16 RC3 in Utopic Unicorn, but it is still unclear.

According to official announcement made by Joseph Salisbury, it is officially confirmed that upcoming Ubuntu 14.10 "Utopic Unicorn" will support Linux Kernel 3.16 as default kernel. The developers are planning to update the ctk ppa (ppa:canoncial-kernel-team/ppa), so that users can upgrade their kernel to 3.16 series.

In his official statement, Joseph Salisbury, state that "We have rebased our Utopic kernel "unstable" branch to v3.16-rc3 and uploaded to our ckt ppa (ppa:canonical-kernel-team/ppa). I don't anticipate an official v3.16 based upload to the archive until further testing and baking has taken place".

We hope that the life cycle of release candidates of Linux Kernel 3.16 will be over before final release of Ubuntu 14.10 "Utopic Unicorn" as you know that every Linux Kernel has atmost 8 to 10 release candidates and 3.16 Kernel series has already release 6 release candidates till yet.
