So, if you say you have certified, which means tested, against your
reference distro, and its Ubuntu, and you have tweaked it so everything
works, OK, which Ubuntu? Here are some dates:
8.04.................. .2008-04-24 (we are now on 8.04.4 I think)
8.10 ...................2008-10-30 (we now seem to be on 8.10.3)
9.10....................2009-10-29 (seems not to have had later versions)
10.04 is now in Beta so will be out shortly
You cannot 'standardize on Ubuntu' or use it as a reference distro. Its
meaningless. You have to specify a release. The Ubuntus out there in the
market are not one release, they are a mixed lot of generations and updates,
and they are changing all the time.
I won't know of an OS for which that isn't true.
Just yesterday my XP system got another update, and my OS X 10.4 system
got an update the week before.
Most OS vendors encourage their customer base to use the current
version, but they also recognize that not everyone can or will, and so
they continue to make critical enhancements to even older versions while
continue to move their OS forward with their current release.
Most developers target both the most recent version of any given OS, and
also the one in widest use. For example, XP still dominate the market
even though Vista has been out for years, so it makes sense to test both
on XP and Win 7.
