So LTS is all about stable [e.g. nothing changed that doesn't have to be changed]. It has the following: - regular point releases with kernel updates (giving new hardware support) - security fixes - backports are available if you want newer packages on a per package basis. Many many things improve in every release, but there is always the chance that something will regress - and sound and video support are particular risk points. I generally encourage users that have the resources to run latest-release always, users with particularly large deployments (those where a refresh takes years to deploy) to run LTS, and users that want to contribute to run ubuntu+1 as soon as an alpha is available. -Rob
