Thread: Ubuntu 4.12 LTS Desktop will have 5 years of support

Well, I said, Canonical announced that its desktop version will be supported for 5 years. Be seen that this is, it may be interestingRight now I follow with computers 10.04 In accordance with one family and here at home I have of pseudoservidor, the best by far and with support for more modest computers using compiz, but I think Unity will open a large gap in ubunteros. Do not put Unity versions (and probably GNOME 3) since the OpenGL v1.3 VGAs not overstretched and just want a lightweight system but upgraded without upgrading the hardware, that is the grace of GNU / Linux and the trend superguays desktop going to have to use legacy distros. for those who like to have a distribution for long without having to upgrade or switch to another.

I certainly after the recent blunders only say yes to 10.04. The later are fine for testing in virtual machines or for tinkering, but to use I do not think continually return to the LTS versions.

But I would still be with 10.10, but outside of canonical because they do something that does not let you update the kernel and I had remained in the 2.6.38. Having a fairly new computer estabva my placda not well supported, so I had to get used to Unity. the end is not bad at all, that if I miss gnome 2.
