Gutsy Gibbon End-of-Life

[Sef]

Gutsy Gibbon,7.10, will reach its end-of-life on 18 April 2009. This means that no more updates will be provided for it. It is recommended that you update to a newer version. Hardy Heron is the Long Term Stable (LTS) with updates until April 2011 for desktops and April 2013 for servers. Jaunty Jackalop will be the newest version with updates until October 2010.

I say don't let the door hit ya where the good lord split ya to Gutsy. Gutsy is the only version of Ubuntu that I actually hated.

Useful post. How long are short term releases supposed to be supported from initial release ? What about back-porting of bug fixes ? (this doesn't seem to be much of a priority).

You hated Gutsy? But it was my favorite! The only one with Compiz by default and without buggy pulseaudio!

Yes I did, but I was running Kubuntu at the time so maybe it was only the Kubuntu version that was so buggy I just wanted to destroy my computer. My favorite version so far is 8.10, but I am liking 9.04 if the few minor annoyances get fixed it will become my favorite so far.

As I'm still running Gutsy on this P3-866, I guess it'll soon be decision time - goodbye to a good, stable friend.

You will be missed Gutsy, you will be missed old friend.

I always update to the newest versions, including non-LTS versions and sometimes even alphas/betas. I won't really miss Gusty.
