Re: [bitfolk] Ubuntu EOL dates - which to quote in general documentation?

If you say you consider a Debian release to be EOL when its standard support period ends (typically 1 year after the release of the next stable version) then I have to accept that even if I don't agree with it! The purpose of this was to find out what people really consider "EOL" to mean. It doesn't appear to have grabbed many people's interest though so I will probably just have to have a think about it and put whatever I think is right. At the moment all I am sure of is that setting Ubuntu's EOL to the end of the 5 year ESM period is not consistent with what "EOL" means for other distributions so I will probably have to use other terms to describe it. That's just, like, my opinion, man. Because it's difficult to compare the exact details of each distributions' support offerings. Cheers, Andy -- https://bitfolk.com/ -- No-nonsense VPS hosting
