Kubuntu LTS and KDE4Kubuntu LTS and KDE4Posted Dec 28, 2007 23:39 UTC (Fri) by khim (subscriber, #9252)In reply to: Kubuntu LTS and KDE4 by jeleinweber Parent article: Kubuntu LTS and KDE4
Desktop users upgrade every 6 months anyway Home desktop users upgrade every 6 months, you mean. My desktop at work is still 6.06 - because it's LTS and our admins will not support anything else. Thus I was pretty sad when Skype dropped support for 6.06. Note: I'll not have a chance to upgrade for LTS Kubuntu 8.04 release for two years - because we don't have "Ubuntu 6.06" vs "Kubuntu 6.06" choice here. It's "Ubuntu 6.06 plus optionally KDE and/or XFCE from *ubuntu 6.06". Thus the only sane way to handle this is to introduce intermediate "8.0x" LTS Kubuntu respin which will have the same base packages as Ubuntu "8.04" but KDE 4.0 instead of 3.5...

Kubuntu LTS and KDE4 Posted Dec 29, 2007 0:29 UTC (Sat) by mattdm (subscriber, #18) [Link] Geeky home desktop users upgrade every six months, you mean. Everyone else stays with what they've got until they get a new computer.

Kubuntu LTS and KDE4 Posted Dec 30, 2007 21:42 UTC (Sun) by epa (subscriber, #39769) [Link] Doesn't Ubuntu have some thingy that prompts you to upgrade when the new release is out?
Kubuntu LTS and KDE4 Posted Dec 31, 2007 14:04 UTC (Mon) by Cato (subscriber, #7643) [Link] Sort of - the Update Manager in Ubuntu/Xubuntu tells you there is a new release available.
