Unfortunately, this is not always true. Ubuntu 12.04 LTS was based on a buggy Unity, and although it was supported for a longer term than 12.10 (just to make an example) it was far less stable (because of the Unity bugs solved in the meantime). Ubuntu 14.04 LTS will probably be a different story, because Unity is more stable. LTS means Long Term Support, and this sometimes translates into a mess if the user thinks that LTS = more stable. In Italy, we had complaints about LibreOffice from people trying to use Ubuntu 12.04 LTS for enterprise deployments, which have been solved by using a non LTS version of Ubuntu. Again, the last version is always the best one for most users. Suggesting the older version for enterprise deployments is just showing an additional level of user care by offering an alternative to people with a different update cycle. -- Italo Vignoli - italo.vign...@gmail.com mob IT +39.348.5653829 - mob EU +39.392.7481795 sip it...@libreoffice.org - skype italovignoli GPG Key ID - 0xAAB8D5C0 DB75 1534 3FD0 EA5F 56B5 FDA6 DE82 934C AAB8 D5C0 -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
