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? ;-) James Sent from Android Mobile <blockquote type="cite">On 12 Aug 2010 13:52, "Karl Larsen" <<a href="mailto:klarsen1@gmail.com">klarsen1@gmail.com</a>> wrote: On 08/11/2010 07:39 PM, chris wrote: > On Wed, 2010-08-11 at 18:13 -0700, NoOp wrote: > >> On 08... 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. 73 Karl -- Karl F. Larsen, AKA K5DI Linux User #450462 <a href="http://counter.li.org">http://counter.li.org</a>.
