LTS = Long Term Support = 5 years.
And your information from the Internet is incorrect in another way. Not 18 months but 9 months. Used to be 18 months for interim releases (the six monthly releases inbetween the 2 yearly Ubuntu LTS releases but the support for interim releases is now down to 9 months). The correct information is here. Ubuntu 12.04 is the last LTS release. It will be replaced by 14.04 LTS at the end of April.

Oh, in case anybody is wondering, the support period starts from the release date and not from the day we install Ubuntu.
Regards.
LTS has been 5yrs for a long time

I'm using Xubuntu 14.04 Final beta on my fiance's laptop and on one of my spares. It's brilliant!
