Thanks for all the info everyone.

I now understand why my LO is not being upgraded to the latest version.
The release dates are...

    LO  3.5  12/02
    U  12.04 12/04
    LO  3.6  12/08
    U  12.10 12/10

So, as a former Quality Assurance Engineer, I don't understand why
Canonical is patching LO 3.5 rather than upgrading to LO 3.6. It was,
after all, released before U 12.10.

As for the reason I'm still on 12.04. Canonical decided to drop support
for Unity 2D and Gnome for Gnome Classic. As far as I've been able to
determine neither thought of providing a list of 3D graphics cards and a
procedure to upgrade the hardware for those of us who had 2D graphics
cards in our computers. Ergo, I've stayed on 12.04.

If anyone knows where I can get this info, I appreciate it. Also, if
anyone knows of a way of getting a list of all the packages added to
customize Ubuntu to the needs of the user that can be used to install
the same packages on a new machine, that too would be helpful.

P.S. Both Firefox and Thunderbird are included in Ubuntu releases and
yet they are, ultimately, upgraded to the most recent versions.
