Ubuntu/Kubuntu LTS: longer support for server packages

rated 0 times [ 3] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 540 / 2 Years ago, thu, march 31, 2022, 2:15:36

I read that Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Desktop is supported till April 2013, but Server is supported till April 2015.

If I install Ubuntu LTS Desktop, will the server packages of the system still be updated until April 2015? I don't care about security updates to the desktop parts (the GUI for the server I'm setting up is rarely used, and not for anything dangerous like email and web browsing), but I do care about the server parts (like SSH, etc.).

And if so, would the same hold true for Kubuntu? The LTS announcement naturally does not mention the longer server support window (seeing as to how it is a desktop distribution), but I wonder if the server packages will still get updates till 2015?

Yes, the server packages are what continues to receive updates. How those packages got installed doesn't matter. Note that if you want the kde desktop on a server, you might be better off installing the server edition, and then adding the kubuntu-desktop task instead of installing kubuntu, and then adding server packages.
