As some of you will know I'm a recent convert to Ubuntu from mostly RH / CentOS. I've been playing around with Ubuntu 9.10 in our virtual environment and will soon be bringing some production servers on-line but the length of updates does worry me slightly. I've been using CentOS as it has a really long life cycle (7 years) and some of our servers just "sit" working for years on end without much care and attention (yes I know that's bad but they work so I don't fix them)
Now I'm using Ubuntu I see that 9.10 has an 18 month life cycle and this might not be brilliant for things like our VLE (Moodle) that will need to work without much downtime for a couple of years. Now the $100 question, then the next Ubuntu LTS is released(April I think I read somewhere) with I be able to upgrade from 9.10 to it ?? The box will be fairly standard stuff like MySQL, Apache, PHP & bits like that, nothing too custom ?
