Keeping Precise On Your Computer For Five Years?

[kalkems]

Hello kalkems

I'd be very interested in how the client upgrade goes for your users; how the change from 10.04.4 to 12.04 strikes them.

See my sig for a poster that is designed for end users.

If they are technical type people I imagine they will just click around and sort it out.

I voted no, because my plan personally is to go LTS -> LTS.

Great poster! We made the move at 11.04 as we have had constant problems with pdf printing to toshiba e-studio350c copiers. I have always had a hope that the next version will sort out the problem - some pdfs seem to block individual authentication resulting in the pdf not being printed.

I teach computers to people that are mentaly impaired. They have had no problems making the shift to Unity. I had way more support issues when we only had ms-win on our clients.

Five years, even on a server, is kinda pushing it. On a desktop? No way I go more than 18 months or 2 years before upgrading.

I guess it depends on how often you need to deal with the server. I've seen some servers that are just boxes shoved in the corner somewhere and left to do their jobs.

I'll be upgrading to 12.04 as soon as I get a chance - probably after it's released and I make a good backup. VirtualBox already has a 12.04 repo up, so that'll be handy.
