+This is a tiny utility that can ease the process of updating kernels on Ubuntu.
+
+It is automatically installing the latest build from the kernel-ppa/mainline PPA
+[repository](http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/).
+
+It supports installing both 'generic' and 'lowlatency' kernel flavors.
+
+# Installation #
+
+    go get github.com/cristim/kernel-update
+
+# Usage #
+
+Assuming `$GOPATH/bin` is in your `PATH`, this should work out of the box:
+
+    kernel-update -flavor lowlatency
+
