If it does not happen in a supported version, certainly. Now, Hardy is quite old (but still supported for the server), so it is highly probable that the code base has changed so much that any bugs there might not be code-compatible anymore. > * OK, so what is the definition of 'server' - I mean some stuff > is obvious (nfs-stuff -> server, game client->not server); but > what about bits of desktop stuff - do we include basic desktop > in our definition of server? No, desktop bits are not supported. Rule of thumb: if it is in the ISO, then certainly is supported. Otherwise, if it is a typical server application, it is supported. > * What about bugs relating to upgrades to Hardy, e.g. > https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glibc/+bug/273795 > > (which probably has other reasons to be closed, but anyway) > It's a bug about an upgrade to Hardy, but in glibc, is it still > supported to upgrade an older system to Hardy? (I doubt there > are any...) I am not sure here. But it stands to reason that upgrading to Hardy would not be supported. Cheers, ..C..
