Long term support generally just refers to how long Canonical will be supporting it, the long term is because dapper is supported by Canonical for a much longer time than the other releases. Unless, however, you are a business this isn't going to mean much, businesses generally can't jump to a new release every 6 months and need longer support but your average user can just dist-upgrade safely to the newest release.
edgy will be supported for as long as any other non lts release. edgy is just being referred to as 'edgy eft' because of the fact that it includes a lot of technologies which are kind of new, but are of course fully functional, ubuntu aren't about to release a version which dies every 5 mins just for a bit of excitement :). recommend edgy all the way :) On Mon, 2006-10-09 at 01:44 +0100, Sean Miller wrote: > Adam Bagnall wrote: > > Edgy release party?
