10.04.3 LTS- Anyone using it?

[IWantFroyo]

With my 11.04 system's wireless breaking just yesterday (from an update), I found out about the new LTS update. I think Distrowatch said something about it having updated applications, but didn't go into detail. Has anyone used the .3 yet? How different is it from the old release? What do you think of it?

I'm burning the disc right now, and I look forward to using it.

It's the same thing as any 10.04 fully updated. Actually, it's probably out of date already.

*raises hand*

I didn't even know I got bumped up to 10.04.3 from 10.04.2. O_o

No. Cutting edge always works great for me, so why would I use an LTS? That being said, go for it if it moves you.

I noticed that the version number got bumped:

$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID:	Ubuntu
Description:	Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS
Release:	10.04
Codename:	lucid

I thought the "point" releases occurred every six months. So shouldn't this release happen in October, three months from now?

I wonder what package bumped it up. I haven't updated to the latest kernel yet, so I didn't think my install would "increment".

My aunt and my mother-in-law both use it.

I bumped up to kernel 2.6.32-33-server 8 days ago, not sure what caused the change to .3 tho.

Apparently it was this one, which upgraded on July 18:

base-files (version 5.0.0ubuntu20.10.04.3) will be upgraded to version 5.0.0ubuntu20.10.04.4

That package includes /etc/lsb-release:

$ cat /etc/lsb-release
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=10.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=lucid
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS"

*raising hand* I'm using it too! Xubuntu, and I always stay with the LTS releases. Just had to fix a major breakage though, when I added an unofficial PPA to try out Xfce 4.8 on Lucid. Big fail, lol. Shoulda known better than to mix an LTS with some unofficial repo.
