Apologies for my ignorance , I am a new Ubuntu user. Curious to know 
what this LTS release is ?
I thought the ubuntu 9.10 release was the stable release. Could some one 
please explain why is there two seperate release such as 9.10 or 10.4 in 
the future which is said to be stable one. Could some one explain the 
reasoning behind these different releases. Pointers to it would also help.

Thanks
