Taking advantage of hardware 
enablement updates
One issue in the Linux industry has been hardware support. This is problematic 
in various Linux distributions because you may find yourself in a situation where 
you're using a server (or even a desktop or laptop) that was released with the latest 
processor and chipset, but no newer version of your Linux distribution has been 
released yet that includes updated drivers that support it. Unlike platforms such as 
Windows, hardware drivers are typically built right into the Linux kernel. So, if you 
have an old release (which would contain an older kernel), you might be out of luck 
for hardware support until the next version of your Linux distribution is released.
