I now understand why my LO is not being upgraded to the latest
version. The release dates are…<br>
</font>
<blockquote><font face="Courier New, Courier, monospace">LO 3.5 12/02<br>
U 12.04 </font><font face="Courier New, Courier, monospace">12/04<br>
LO 3.6 12/08<br>
U 12.10 12/10<br>
</font></blockquote>

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