Hi :)
A lot of work has gone into Gnome Unity recently with new releases already
done or imminent. It's going to take a while for those to settle down again.
Oddly, KDE is completely stable right now so you might be better with a K

Hi :)
Ubuntu 10.04 LTS is the recommended release for crucial machines that you don't
want to upgrade too often. The LTSes only need upgrading about every 2-3 years.
The 6monthly releases are fun to try but often have experimental features and
the 11.04 is an extreme example of that. On most

Hi :)
Yes, i know LTSes are released on a 2-year cycle but you don't have to upgrade

6monthlies. A lot of updates usually happen in the
Hi :)
If you upgrade stops you from using the machine there are some interesting
tricks possibly unique to Ubuntu that allow you to revert to a previous release
without having to re-format and hence help you avoid losing data. I seem to be
