8.04 was a frakking train wreck in many ways. It wasn't until 8.04.2 came out that it was even close to useable as a server OS, and even then, not for databases yet. It's still got broken bits and pieces marked "fixed in 8.10"... Uh, hello, it's your LTS release, fixes should be made there as a priority.
Ubuntu doesn't really have LTS releases, they just have ones they claim are supported longer than others. But as you've also noticed, they really aren't. All they really offer is long-term critical security fixes for those releases, that's it. The longest I've ever gotten an Ubuntu box to last before becoming overwhelmed by bugs that were only fixed in later versions and not backported was around 2 years.
