So I assume connection to the internet. --- Background: There is much discussion about Lubuntu 12.04 having de facto LTS, even if it has not pro forma LTS. What I meant with the question was this: Should I ever recommend someone to continue with Lubuntu 12.04 after October? Would it be responsible to recommend that, and assume that the security risk is quite small, when most of the packages are maintained via Ubuntu LTS? </blockquote></div></div> As long as the user understands the risks. I wouldn't recommend doing internet banking or keeping personal data on the machine. It's like going out to the shops and leaving the house door unlocked. Not a good idea. Leaving an upstairs window slightly ajar, though, doesn't carry the quite the same risk. -- Steve -- Lubuntu-users mailing list <a href="mailto:Lubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com" target="_blank">Lubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com</a> Modify settings or unsubscribe at: <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/lubuntu-users" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/lubuntu-users</a> </blockquote></div> -- Ingrid Wiklund Olle Wiklund Nils Wiklund Skolgränd 15, 954 33 Gammelstad Tel. hem: 0920-22 41 30 Mob.
