1. Debian (and clones): you keep the components of the system pretty

You are describing Debian sid/unstable, which is contunuously updated,
and where there are no releases in the usual sense of the word. Debian
stable releases are a different matter, and correspond very closely to
major releases of RHEL/CentOS. There is always an upgrade path between
consecutive releases of Debian stable.
Yes, LTS, thanks Liam. Only LTS has life cycle of mere 2 years, whereas
RHEL (hence CentOS) is what, 10 years? I was pretty sure Debian does not
backport patches (of Linuxes no one except RH, as far as I know). How do
they do it with LTS?
This would be a good question for the ubuntu users list . . .
Ubuntu user technical support,
not for general discussions <ubuntu-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Do they just freeze major version, no matter what (it
is only 2 years the need)?
Thanks.
