Warty ready to Retire

[TheFridge]

<p>After eighteen months of faithful service, Ubuntu 4.10 (aka the Warty Warthog), will be end-of-lifed on 30 April 2005. Matt Zimmerman made the expected <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-announce/2006-March/000061.html">notice</a> on the announcement mailing list, along with the upgrade path for those of you still running Warty:</p>
<blockquote ><p>The supported upgrade path from Ubuntu 4.10 is via Ubuntu 5.04. Instructions and caveats for the upgrade may be found at <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HoaryUpgradeNotes">Hoary Upgrade Notes</a>. Note that upgrades to version 5.10 and beyond are only supported in multiple steps, via an upgrade first to 5.04, then to 5.10.

Surely that's 30 April 2006, right? :)

Mailing list states 2006, little misstyping here :)

Anyway, how many people do you think use Warty? I think they are few, if any. Upgrading is a simple apt-get command away.

warty was a dam good first release!

it was the first distro that stood on my hd and with warty i became a real linux lover. now a bit more than one year later i learned to love linux (especially ubuntu and debian) and hell i kicked microsoft off my harddisk.

Thanks to all the developers, and all the people in the forum & the mailing lists. keep up the good work!

One soul saved :cool:
