[Ubuntu Urdu] Ubuntu Pakistan Official Release: Ubuntu 5.10 will reach end-of-life on April 13th 2007

[Fouad Riaz Bajwa]

Ubuntu announced the release of 5.10 almost 18 months ago, on October 13th.
As with the earlier releases, Ubuntu committed to ongoing security and
critical fixes for a period of 18 months. The support period is now nearing
its end and Ubuntu 5.10 will reach end of life on Friday April 13th 2007. At
that time, Ubuntu Security Notices will no longer include information or
updated packages for Ubuntu 5.10.

The supported upgrade path from Ubuntu 5.10 is via Ubuntu 6.06 LTS.
Instructions and caveats for the upgrade may be found at
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DapperUpgrades. Note that upgrades to
version 6.10 and beyond are only supported in multiple steps, via an upgrade
first to 6.06 LTS, then to 6.10. Both Ubuntu 6.06 LTS and Ubuntu 6.10
continue to be actively supported with security updates and select
high-impact bug fixes. All announcements of official security updates for
Ubuntu releases are sent to the ubuntu-security-announce mailing list,
information about which may be found at
https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-security-announce.

Since its launch in October 2004 Ubuntu has become one of the most highly
regarded Linux distributions with millions of users in homes, schools,
businesses and governments around the world. 

Ubuntu is Open Source software, costs nothing to download, and users are
free to customise or alter their software in order to meet their needs. The
Desktop Edition can be deployed as a general-purpose workstation, thin
client, or engineering workstation. 

The Server Edition provides a well integrated platform and simplifies the
deployment process of new servers with any of the standard Internet services
such as e-mail, web, file serving and database management.
