My understanding is that Lubuntu 12.04 is not a LTS even though Ubuntu 12.04 is. But since Lubuntu uses the same repositories as Ubuntu does it mean that it will still get security updates for 5 years? So what is the difference? If it is just the lxde stuffs not getting updates then it doesn't sound like an OS upgrade is necessary when 13.10 comes out.
I ask because I have installed lubuntu 12.04 on someone's old netbook and the question of upgrade has come up. I know that 12.10 doesn't work on it.
