Re: After Natty and Lucid Support End

I've found much to like about Precise, but am still spending too much time trying to figure out how to tweak it. Both the printer and users-and-groups issues have bitten me. I'm also unhappy with some of the colors on my current desktop and in some windows, but have already spent too many hours and tried too many attempted fixes to feel that I can spend any more time on this issue.
What is everyone else going to do when Natty support ends this month? When Lucid support ends next Spring?
The last Ubuntu upgrade that I was really pleased with, and that did not disrupt my work, was from Lucid to Maverick. At times, I'm tempted to reinstall (unsupported) Maverick. People say it would be subject to security issues that have been fixed in later releases, but how serious are the security threats to Linux anyway?

Pure Debian? Slackware? Freebsd? CentOS? Sounds like you are looking for something tried and true with long support
Whoever came up with the phrase "There is no such thing as a stupid question" obviously never had the internet.
