excellent...

ok, I would like to try. How can I add this PPA so it stays up to date
with later RCs of the kernel. I assume the kernel will never reach
Lucid. How can it be installed without ruining upgrade-ability to
Maverick?

The link takes me a web page; I have looked at the PPA documentation
and there isnt an explanaltion of how to add a PPA with a link like
this. should I just add this to the sources.list file as with earlier
versions of Ubuntu?

somehting like:
deb http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ lucid main
deb-src http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ lucid main

I cannot see a (user/consumer friendly) implemented feature list for
Maverick; is Maverick ok for light PC use; should I just upgrade to
that now (I have previously run Alphas and Betas of
Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Xubuntu without many issues).
