Ubuntu Releases 13.04, Sticks To 6-Month Release Rhythm
Barence writes "Ubuntu has shelved the idea of moving to rolling releases, and will continue to release a new version every six months. Earlier this year, Ubuntu developers discussed the idea of moving to rolling releases, with new features added to the OS as and when they were ready. However, In an interview with PC Pro, Canonical CEO Jane Silber said the developers had taken a 'cold, hard look at our long-standing practices' and decided to stay with twice-yearly releases. It has, however, cut support on non-LTS releases from 18 to nine months." Today, the Ubuntu team have released the latest iteration of Ubuntu, 13.04 ("Raring Ringtail"), along with variants like Kubuntu 13.04.
Even if you don't use Ubuntu, seed the torrents for a few hours. It is one way we can all contribute to Open Source - no dev skills, documentation skills, etc. required!
Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos
Let me list the ways:
1) Debian was too much work (Ubuntu, an African word meaning "I couldn't get Debian to work properly").
2) I really like apt-get.
3) Ubuntu works (mostly, after some fiddling).
4) The LTS won't change much and so is going to be stable.
5) Fuck RPM. Also, Emacs sucks, and so does your haircut.
