Dear all, As discussed earlier last month: Email 1 <https://lists.launchpad.net/lubuntu-comms/msg00256.html> and Email 2 <https://lists.launchpad.net/lubuntu-comms/msg00258.html>
>From the original Email<https://lists.launchpad.net/lubuntu-comms/msg00237.html>- to view the mailing list archive list click here <https://lists.launchpad.net/lubuntu-comms/>. I'm now typing this email from Lubuntu 10.04: *Machine:* CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) Duo CPU T2350 @ 1.86GHz Capabilities: fpu fpu_exception wp vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic mtrr pge mca cmov clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe nx constant_tsc arch_perfmon bts aperfmperf pni monitor est tm2 xtpr pdcm cpufreq RAM: 489MiB Display: Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller - driver: i915 Disk: /dev/sda: 120.0 GB SYSTEM: Linux 2.6.32-46-generic #108-Ubuntu SMP Thu Apr 11 15:55:01 UTC 2013 i686 GNU/Linux - It is updated 100% - "ubuntu-restricted-extras" is installed (Lubuntu 10.04 has no lubuntu-restricted-extras) - Firefox: 20.0 - Chromium: Version 25.0.1364.160 Ubuntu 10.04 (25.0.1364.160-0ubuntu0.10.04.1) I installed these packages: 1. gnome-system-monitor 2. gnome-screenshot 3. Firefox 4. English Dictionary for Firefox My fstab got messed up the other day so the system is running with absolutely NO SWAP (SWAP OFF - I want to do heavy tests so I won't enable it now), yet it is very stable and the performance is amazing See This<http://i44.tinypic.com/4ub7dl.jpg> . Okay, we all know that Lubuntu 10.04 wasn't LTS. As per Ubuntu Releases Wiki <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases>, May 9, 2013 (Desktop EOL) April 2015 (Server EOL) So, basically, my current system where I'm writing this form should have reached its End Of Life (EOL) because it is a NON-LTS Lubuntu Release. However, according to my understanding<http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UHaglolwDQY/UV1a_gxAmLI/AAAAAAAAAVw/Q30HJsh3seA/s1600/lubuntu+vs+ubuntu.png>, the core system is indeed an LTS and hence I'm supposed to received all the security updates for 10.04.4 as far as I can tell. NOW, moment of truth. To Be Or Not To Be? Is this a secure system? is this an LTS system? what are the risks of running this? and so many questions I'd like to be discussed here. I'm doing all this *for one good reason*<https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/PreviousReleases#A10.04>:) Rather than that, I would never bother or waste my time but I seriously need to have a straight, clear, logical and understandable answer for this case. I mean, *why would we even keep 10.04 Link on our Wiki if this is all useless* <https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/PreviousReleases>? I'm sorry if I'm nagging too much or asking too much but I do care about our users a lot and above all, I seriously feel lost every time the LTS Topic is brought to the table of discussion. My current machine where I'm testing all this is very much capable of running 13.04 without any problems as far as I can tell. I wish I have an old machine that Lubuntu 10.04 is the ONLY way to go but I don't. Thank you so much for reading! P.S. Again, I'm doing this for our users first of all and for me/everyone to understand more :) -- Best Regards, amjjawad Start Ubuntu
