Sounds like Ubuntu is exactly what you are looking for. For any updates
Ubuntu will fix the original version shipped with the LTS, so you don't
have any worries about a new version being introduced and messing
everything up.

Hi,
I'm using Ubuntu 14.04LTS in a test environment because I needed a
newer version of PHP and MySql than what CentOS 7 (RHEL 7) comes with.
I've been using CentOS and / or RHEL for about 7 years and am
comfortable with it. I am especially appreciative of how RHEL
backports so no packages are broken.
After configuring and using Ubuntu 14.04LTS I would like to move to it
in production.
I have heard horror stories of distributions upgrading to a newer
version of Apache, MySql, and/or PHP and breaking the server or the
apps running on the server.
I'm wondering how Ubuntu deals with this type of potential problem.
According to this page : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LTS Ubuntu 14.04LTS
will be supported until late 2019. That is almost 5 years on the same
version. I would expect to stay on 14.04LTS for probably 3 or 4 years
depending on what comes down the pike.
Thank you in advance for your insight!!
Keith
