    Hello Janis,

    Well, I downloaded the ISO for Ubuntu 17.04 and "Burned" it to a USB stick. I will be installing (Upgrading) v17.04 to my current v16.10 installation on my spare Linux machine. The "Official" release isn't quite out yet as I understand it so I may be updating the installation IF there is any changes in the official release.


    Jeff

    Hi Jeff,

    Well, I downloaded the ISO for Ubuntu 17.04 and "Burned" it to a USB stick. I will be installing (Upgrading) v17.04 to my current v16.10 installation on my
    spare Linux machine. The "Official" release isn't quite out yet as I understan
    it so I may be updating the installation IF there is any changes in the official release.

    I hope it all goes well Jeff :) Is that one an LTS release? (long term support) That's what I always look for :)

    Take care,
    Janis

    14.04, 16.04 and what will be 18.04 are the LTS releases... 14.04 atill has roughly two years on it... 2019 Apr is its EOL date...

    i know this because i've been going a few rounds with some FOSS projects about them not having fixes out for 14.04 with its two more years of life... they're coming around, though ;)
