Hello!

I was wondering whats been happening to the daily (or so) updates for ubuntu.

Ever since I started with Ubuntu there's been updates up like every 1-3 days, but last week it just stopped and I havent seen any updates for a very long time.

My friend has the same "problem", I was wondering what's going on - Canonical vacation or just a very good month for security?

:)

the more mature a program becomes the less updates it requires....

if you want daily updates, install Ibex alpha 1 (but don't use it as primary system yet)

Thanks for your reply.

I'm not obsessed with updates, I was just worried as it felt as the updates just stopped coming.
But now I know :)

I'm currently down to one computer in the house because my youngest kids all finally moved out, yippee, empty nesting is fun ............. but now the grandkids use my computer when they visit and quite often horse things up, so I routinely check my Software Sources just to be sure everything is set properly.

It only takes a few seconds to look.
