I think you all missed their point about wanting an install that has a
longer lifespan. They're jumping ship from Debian, and avoiding Red Hat
derived distros, because they all change versions too often, and abandon
prior releases too quickly for them. I understand how they feel.
Yes, CentOS, et cetera, have long life span versions, too. But I
haven't compared the length of theirs to the long term Ubuntu one. And
if you already came from a Debian background, Ubuntu is a closer move
than a Red Hat styled release.
I would love to have just security bug fix on the system software for an extra
year. I'm still running FC13, FC6 and RH8 in virtual machines because there are
apps which are useful. Bless kvm.
