I'll check into that some more, perhaps contact them...

Not for my 'working boxes' - I prefer something that just keeps
working without periodic fusses, problems, and extra effort - so I
chose the LTS version. I'm thinking of looking at a later version just
to check out Unity, but probably not a working box. My plan is to move
to the next LTS version, as long as it is at least as productive as
the current version.

Thanks for the help...
