Which package shall I download

[satimis]

Hi folks,


CPU - AMD Athlon64 AM2 X2 3800
RAM - 2G 6400 dual channel
HD - SATA 160G 8M cache
Broadband connection - 6M


I'm looking around to download a Ubuntu for building LAMP server. I found under
server Edition;

Ubuntu 7.04 - Supported to 2008
Ubuntu 6.06 LTS - Supported to 2011


According to the version number Ubuntu 7.04 is the latest verion. I can't understand its support will end at 2008, earlier than Ubuntu 6.06 LTS?


I shall run Ubuntu as host on the virtual machine with virtualboz as virtualizer.

VirtualBox.


Please advise which version shall I download. TIA

Hi,

LTS means long term support.

Ubuntu has released 6.06 as LTS and all other versions have short support only.

I would suggest you to use Latest Version only because Latest Version have lot of new feature and better Hardware support. Its very easy to Upgrade any version any time.

Hi devils_casper,

Good suggestion. Tks.

I have no plan for long run. This is a test on VM only.
