I would suggest to stick with LTS if you are deploying Ubuntu on several systems akin to a small enterprise. LTS in Ubuntu 8.04 LTS stands for Long Term Support. See Ubuntu's web site for details. There are point releases eg. 8.04.1 to support newer hardware. LTS is targeted towards enterprise deployments that need support for 3 or more years. IIRC, the other releases provide support for 24 months. -- Arun Khan _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- [email protected] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/
