    LTS server or desktop EOL

    This is a curiosity more than anything...

    6.06 Dapper Drake Desktop is EOL in June. Server support goes on to June 2011.

    My question is: Everything comes from the same pool... How is it decided if package X is server or desktop software. I haven't found any documentation that outlines that determination.

    Thanks

    I would be interested in this too as I have not seen an official package list.

    I think it would be safe to assume anything related to X is unsupported.
    There are two mistakes one can make along the road to truth...not going all the way, and not starting.

    I have wondered this as well, but always assumed the packages included on the server install CD, which I assume are all the packages related to the configuration options available during installation, were the only ones supported during that time.
