One nice thing about Ubuntu is that they even give you access to
future kernel versions through what they call HWE.  In short, I can
run a 14.04 LTS kernel on a 12.04 server, so that I'm able to use
modern hardware and take advantage of software that uses features of
Linux that are actively worked on (like LXC) on an older software
stack.
