After many years of using and enjoying Ubuntu as my main desktop OS, I’ve reluctantly been forced to choose another Linux distribution for use at work and home. My desktop of choice was Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS (Lucid Lynx) which has just passed beyond Canonical’s support point. This is a shame, as it’s a fast, stable, [...] I’ve just updated my web server to the latest version of Ubuntu’s LTS 12.04.1, codename Precise Pangolin. LTS is an acronym for Long Term Support and will be the company’s main server OS until mid-2014 but fully supported through to 2017.
