Was wondering how I would go about installing Linux Kernel 3.0 with pae enabled in Natty? Is there a PPA available with this included or do I have to compile from scratch?
Tell me more

If you want to try directly installing the Oneiric kernel version, you can pull the .deb files you need from: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux Otherwise, you can try automated daily builds of the current upstream kernels here: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/daily/current/ Though the -pae i386 kernel is not available here yet. |

Go here and download it. Look at the bottom Download linux-image-3.0-1-generic-pae |

So what are the big changes? NOTHING. Absolutely nothing. Sure, we have the usual two thirds driver changes, and a lot of random fixes, but the point is that 3.0 is *just* about renumbering, we are very much *not* doing a KDE-4 or a Gnome-3 here. No breakage, no special scary new features, nothing at all like that. We've been doing time-based releases for many years now, this is in no way about features. If you want an excuse for the renumbering, you really should look at the time-based one ("20 years") instead.– RobinJ Jun 28 '11 at 8:31
