The question I'd put to the community is: If you have been using Ubuntu
since 10.4 or earlier, and you've upgraded or are planning to, what
option did you take?
I'm still running Ubuntu 10.4 (home and work) because it's a LTS (long term
support) release. I've been wanting to upgrade on at least the personal
side (just too busy) but now I'm seriously doubting how it can be worth it.
All the complaints I've been hearing are eerily similar to the horror-show
that I personally experienced with the KDE 4 upgrade.
Debian's release schedule is every two years, at least that was the
period of time between versions 5 and 6. When I ran Ubuntu, I upgraded
when a new release came out. Debian's release schedule seems to be better.
One way to look at it, is whether it's /really/ necessary to upgrade the
OS every six months, even if the current installation continues to be
supported for some time after that.
