 Why should I care if a specific Linux distro is old verses
a newer version distro such as Ubuntu 12.04? Is it so
newer programs can run on it?

"New GNU/Linux" distros will have new features, will have support for more hardware, might have a bunch of security fixes, etcetera. For instance, a newer distro might come with GNOME3 whose interface underwent a major change.
