And to follow-up on my posting and re-reading the website I listed, it appears that if you install from a point release ISO *OR* install certain packages that have specific hardware support, you "convert" your system to a more "limited" upgrade path from standard LTS (those are my words). If you can upgrade to v14.04, you should be ok for at least another ~24 months (only because you'll get the 14.04.1 release that was just pushed out in the last few days). Tim -- Timothy J.
