I think that what is being referred to here is the Ubuntu 'LTS'
releases, that get long term support updates. I 'm kind of on the
fence on whether or not we should do this - it means extra developer
cycles that may or may not exist, and the fact that we *do* have RHEL
and it's derivatives, a la CentOS. Someone looking for a free as in
{speech,beer} distribution with long term support I tend to point
towards CentOS, but maybe there is middle ground between that and the
current Fedora that we don't have.
I don't think Ubuntu LTS gives you the latest and greatest unless you
upgrade, does it?
Same with CentOS; although it might be supported longer then you are
going to use it, whenever you feel you want newer software you upgrade
to the next release. Meanwhile, it's stable.
The Fedora Project moves in with EPEL, Extra Packages for Enterprise
Linux, perfectly suitable for a CentOS machine and with the same release
and 'support' cycle.
