I was wondering, what is the difference between the LTS (Long Term Support) and the regular versions of Ubuntu? I know, the LTS releases are supported 3 and 5 years (desktop and server), but what difference does it make e.g. if I use 8.10? Is it possible, in a couple of years I won't get any security updates for 8.10, only for 8.04 LTS? | |||

That's it exactly. The non LTS versions will stop receiving bug fixes + security / feature updates after 18 months, whereas the LTS versions get updates for longer (3/5 years). | |||

So what if we re install the Ubuntu or install the other latest version of Ubuntu, when we will stop receiving security updates? Can we use it normally after doing this? | |||
