Install/Upgrade Linux Kernel 3.19 RC2 on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, Ubuntu 14.10, Ubuntu 15.04 and Linux Mint 17.1
Linux kernel is the essential part of any Linux operating system. It is responsible for resource allocation, low-level hardware interfaces, security, simple communications, basic file system management, and more. Written from scratch by Linus Torvalds (with help from various developers), Linux is a clone of the UNIX operating system. It is geared towards POSIX and Single UNIX Specification compliances.
