I however have an open question about how users upgrade on Ubuntu, do you upgrade every 6 months to a newer version of Ubuntu or do you stay with the OS until the end of the OS lifespan (18 months)? And what would be the best option: upgrade every 6 months; 12 months or 18 months? Regards Anton </blockquote><div> I stick to a distro for a year or more, and do a full reinstall when upgrading. My last upgrade I split the partitions up, so future upgrades will be much easier too. I also push for upgrades when I really need specific support, for video drivers say. Sometimes I find it hard keeping up with all the Ubuntu releases too ;) </div></div>
