Ubuntu-GNOME Digest, Vol 11, Issue 49

[Steve Ovens]

I am with Lance,

I have a significant number of computers/vms, enough that I maintain a
local repo. The only machine that moves from LTS is generally my laptop.

However, I wonder, aside from the DE, since we just pull from Ubuntu Main,
the core still receives the updates to be on the level with Ubuntu Main
does it not?
