    Hi there. I've just bought a dell laptop with ubuntu installed, 8.04. If this is LTS, I can use it until 2010 and don't update? I'm kinda nervous because every instructions I have read say that I can mess up everything.

    According to this article, it's actually April of 2011.

    Ubuntu - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    By that time the next LTS (Ubuntu 10.04, approx release April 2010) will be out and you can upgrade to that.
