Karl - grub2 and ext2/ext3/ext4

[James Hogarth]

1) If you need a system stable (as in no major changes) stick with lts as
per the Ubuntu guidelines... just don't post complaining about older
packages present later on.

2) Given that no package in in 10.04 by definition is older than the same
package in 8.04 there is no bug fix in 8.04 that will not exist in 10.04.
With that proviso in mind 10.04 has packages that are not in 8.04. If you
accept all software of sufficient complexity has bugs then there must be a
set of bugs from these in 10.04 that do not exist in 8.04.

Following that basic logic your point of 10.04 versus 8.04 is going to be
true almost by definition but consequently is so obvious that it is not
insightful and rather short sighted.

If you want to go over this same debate again might I suggest the recurring
discussions board at ubumtuforums? ;-)

        I can't get the Ubuntu leadership to do anything but I plan to
stop D/L all versions but the LTS versions. I agree version 8.04 LTS is
a landmark version but do not know why. I still have 8.04 and when
something on 10.04 is a bug, I check it against 8.04. To date 8.04 has
no bugs that 10.04 has.

        Yes it would seem that a new version once a year is enough.
