Due to a lot of page views on my past posts about the latest Linux Kernel releases, I decided to keep you up to date with the latest version of Linux Kernel which is available to install on Ubuntu. Today, I'd like to share the download link of Linux Kernel 3.7.1 deb packages, so you can install it easily on your Ubuntu system. Please note that the latest kernel which is not officially released by Ubuntu may break your system, so please don't install it on production system :)
