Did anyone else notice that they both complain about "iFanboys" upgrading every six months and Ubuntu 12.04, an LTS release, being three years old?

- pronoiac 11y agoYup, it made it seem either a bit incoherent or that ugh, Everything is Wrong!
- lsc 11y agoThe problem I imagine OP sees with using a three-year-old ubuntu LTS release is that you will only get security updates for another two years.
- NeutronBoy 11y agoAlso, it's not the most recent LTS - you might already have an environment standardised on 14.04.
- lukeschlather 11y agoThere's a difference between customers and vendors here. It would be a waste of resources for a customer to upgrade to every new Ubuntu release. We're at the stage in 12.04's lifecycle at which customers should ideally have their plans to upgrade from 12.04 to the new 14.04 LTS solidified. If you use one of the packages the author mentioned, you can't upgrade because they don't yet offer support for the new LTS.
