I have an Asus u56e laptop running dual boot setup, Windows 7 and 12.04. I had Windows 7 first.

I have seen in some version of Ubuntu that instead of making a huge change to update to the latest kernel, they take some of the good stuff out of it, for the sake of stability and put it on a previous version.

This has meant in the past that I had to rely on a custom iso to install…

Looking at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases
13.04 will reach EOL in January 2014, while 12.10 will reach EOL in April 2014, therefore if a 12.10 user hasn't upgraded to 13.04 and subsequently to 13.10, there will be a 3 month period where a 12.10 user has a supported version of Ubuntu, but will be…
