My dad and I were wondering what the LTS in Ubuntu 8 stands for?

We were also wondering if this upgrade is a complete release, or a sort of beta/demo one?



Thanks!

It is precisely 8.04 as 8.10 which is the next release is not LTS. Ubuntu releases twice a year so please take care to mention the whole version no.
