maybe hardy...... hardy should be a priority as people who have rolled out an LTS release who plan to stick with it for at least 2 years to maximise the LTS features should not be stuck with outdated software that is a big improvment (not saying upgrade everything). I don't understand why LTS release are just stuck on the back burner - what is the point of LTS if it's not going to be maintained and kept as current as possible for people investing in it. > Chris Coulson wrote: >> 2008/10/21 Robert Dorrian <[EMAIL PROTECTED] >> <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>> >> >> The backports guys may be worth a try.
