[tlug] Ubuntu versions

[Brian Chandler <brian@example.com>]

Thanks for the help the other day on package dependencies and 
printers... um, still not there, but eventually I read Dave M G's 
message _properly_, and it does say this works on version 'E' (sorry, no 
space in my brain for the hyper-twee  silly version names). I started 
out a month or two ago, and read that there was 6.06 ('D'), stable, 
supported, stuff like that, or 6.10 ('E'), bleeding edge. Well I 
obviously chose 6.06, and at some trouble got hold of CD version from 
the UK. Everything works so far, except the Canon printer problem.

But now I see everyone talking about two versions later than the 
"stable" one in March! I assumed "stable" meant this would be the, um 
stable version, for at least the next year or so - have I misunderstood?
I don't have a real feel for how big a job it is to upgrade (or rather, 
how big it would be once I had started to invest time in setting various 
things up the way I want them). Should I just stop being silly, and move 
to 'F' already?

ps: found some very useful stuff on mail/spam problems in this list. 
Maybe questions later.
