I use 3.8. It works, but I wouldn't switch just yet. I have gotten a few
kernel oopses with it, and I never decided whether that was my problem or
the kernel's, but 3.7 was quite solid. (compiling kernel modules and
subsequently re/booting 3.8 has never caused any issues, so I am not too
concerned with initramfs on my (non-production) machine.)
Some of the 'buntus use 3.4, don't they?
