The Thoughts on Technology blog posted a guide about installing the 2.6.35 (Maverick) Kernel on Ubuntu 10.04
Ubuntu 10.10 just released and it utilizes the 2.6.35 kernel, this is a good bit newer than the 2.6.32 kernel Ubuntu 10.04 uses. While there are a number of reasons to upgrade your kernel, the primary reason for doing so is typically for improved hardware support.

This can cause older hardware that either didn't work (or required lots of hacking to work) to start "just working".Easily Install 2.6.35 (Maverick) Kernel on Ubuntu 10.04
