 Hi Jan,
 
 14.04 will be out on 17 April ( Thursday this week), support is until 2019
 
 Could be your Long Weekend project, install 14.04
 
 I have been using it for aprox 2 months
 
 I don't have an SSD, but support for things like SSDs, should be better
 
 I don't know if you like Unity, I do, and it has improved
 
 Don't know what apps you use, here are some apps to install in 14.04
 shutter - feature-rich screenshot program
 classicmenu-indicator - drop down menu - creates an Ubuntu Icon top right
 glabels - label, business card and media cover creation program for GNOME
 gimagereader - A graphical GTK frontend to tesseract-ocr - OCR

Your experienced comments please:
 
I have reverted to Ubuntu 12.04 LTS after some bad experiences with 12.10. My 12.04 is still doing fine and support is until 2017, so the question is perhaps premature, however, I am planning to transfer to a SSD (solid state drive) shortly and would appreciate some feedback to help me decide whether I should remain with 12.04 or upgrade to a newer version, especially considering that the next LTS version has been available for some time.
 
Many thanks,
 
Jan
