Yup. Point release updates, similar to what RHEL provides (say if the desktop has Firefox 2, it will only officially support Firefox 2 for the life of the distro). Incidentally, the local guys in the Ubuntu forums are planning for a distro release get together sometime April after the lenten holidays in Ortigas (I provided a venue, but not organizing it). Could be a good place to meet like minded folks, experienced or newbies. -- Jerome G.
