Ubuntu 8.04 LTS server and desktop releasesUbuntu 8.04 LTS server and desktop releasesPosted Apr 24, 2008 17:54 UTC (Thu) by vmole (guest, #111)In reply to: Ubuntu 8.04 LTS server and desktop releases by michaeljt Parent article: Ubuntu 8.04 LTS server and desktop releases
Uh, so that would be Debian, yes? Debian 3.1 (sarge), released 6/2005, updated 12/2005, 4/2006, 9/2006, 11/2006, 2/2007, 4/2007, 12/2007, 4/2008. Debian 4.0 (etch), released 4/2007, updated 8/2007, 12/2007, 2/2008. Admittedly not a rigid 6 month cycle, but not too bad. Also, you can pull from propesed-updates any time. The www.backports.org site allows specific selection of individual packages. Using "apt-get -t etch-backports install foo" seems reasonably easy and granular to me. Of course, not every single package is backported, but most of the popular stuff is.
