The page linked https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds redirects to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds?action=show&redirect=KernelMainlineBuilds and currently reads: "We currently build five sets of upstream kernels. All formal tags from Linus' tree and from the stable trees, plus:

1) the daily tip of Linus' linux kernel source tree,
2) the tip of the drm-next head of Dave Airlie's linux repository daily,
3) the tip of the drm-intel-next head of Keith Packard's linux repository daily until 2012, after which it has been taken over by Daniel Vetter at http://cgit.freedesktop.org/drm-intel/, and in particular, the drm-intel-next branch,
4) the tip of the master branch of the debloat-testing tree daily,
5) tags from the combined v2.6.32.x.y tree (by StefanBader) which is v2.6.32.x with DRM from 2.6.33.y."

So should I be using the Daily Tip of Linus's Linux kernel source tree or not?

Do you actually want me to go to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds?action=show&redirect=KernelMainlineBuilds#Installing_upstream_kernels which includes a link to http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.14.4-utopic/ where it seems I can cut out some of the URL to get http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ which does include a "daily folder" for me to avoid.

I am on Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS (Trusty Tahr, and the latest build for that seems to be http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.15-rc2-trusty/ so should I download the relevant files from there and start on the install instructions?
