As it says is Ubuntu 10.10 dead? I noticed a lot of "dead packages" that are no longer existent and a lot of posts confusing and misleading due to these "dead packages" it's becoming kinda frustrating.

Hello!
Support for Maverick ended in April 2012. I would suggest installing a newer version.
However, if you wish to keep Maverick, the repos can still be found if you change your soures list to look like this:
There will be no security updates there, which is why it would be best to install a newer version. I would recommend a clean install rather than going through the difficult process of upgrading from an unsupported version.Code:old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ CODENAME ...

A thing discovered and kept to oneself must be discovered time and again by others. A thing discovered and shared with others need be discovered only the once.

Oh thank you that pretty much answered my question.
Just for future reference: x.10 releases are LTS, Long Term Releases. These releases of Ubuntu will be supported for the 5 years following it's release. x.04 releases are regular releases, and will be supported only for 18 months. So when you upgrade, if you plan to use the same OS for a while, I'd recommend an LTS.

The LTS releases have been 6.06, 8.04, 10.04 and 12.04. The first three were supported for 3 years for the desktop version, 5 years for server version. 12.04 is supported for five years for both desktop and server.
