I was just reading that most Ubuntu versions other then the LTS come with 18 months of support.
I was just wondering why Cannonical decided to go with 9 months of support for Ubuntu 13.04?
Thank you

First, this is not support request.
Second they moved so developers can focus more on adding and implementing new features. it's a compromise between roling release and previous release cycle. makes sense they did it, especially since new stable release comes out every 6 months.
LTS releases will have 5 years support.
Read the easy to understand, lots of pics Ubuntu manual.
Do i need antivirus/firewall in linux?
Full disk backup (newer kernel -> suitable for newer PC): Clonezilla
User friendly full disk backup: Rescuezilla
You think that's air you're breathing now?

I would not in the least be surprised if 13.10 was the last interim/standard release.
First, there’s real confusion around interim releases. Between 12.04 LTS and 14.04 LTS there will be three interim releases on our current approach, and lots of people will find that confusing.Second, we have proven the LTS point release mechanism, which brings new hardware support and new software to the LTS releases.Third, the daily quality story really has been impressive. The amazing work of a sizable quality team has transformed the widespread expectations of participants and contributors in UbuntuRegards.And it’s worth looking hard at our practices to ask the question: how best to achieve that goal? Of those practices, interim releases are just as subject to evaluation and revision as any other.
It is a machine. It is more stupid than we are. It will not stop us from doing stupid things.

Thread moved to Ubuntu, Linux and OS Chat.
The LTS point release mechanism probably hasn't received as much attention as it should.
I was curious, does the LTS point releases bring in new versions of software, kernel updates and the like? In other words, do the point releases bring in the "latest and greatest" as it were (lol) And if someone is running LTS do they get those point upgrades automatically?
Because after nine months it gives birth to a newer version.
