As a reminder, *buntu 16.04 LTS 'Xenial Xerus' was the April 2016
long-term support release (as indicated in the release number), with
support until April 2021 for Ubuntu Desktop, Server, Core, and Kylin,
and until April 2019 for all other flavours (Lubuntu, Xubuntu,
Lubuntu...). I.e., support expires next month for those.
Meanwhile the _current_ long-term support release, 18.04 LTS 'Bionic
Beaver', has support for _5 years until April 2023_ for the same main
flavours, and for 3 years until April 2021 for the other flavours.
I'm sure some folks have a reason for installing the last-but-one LTS
release with very limited future support, but I'm not sure what that
reason is.
Bobbie, do you just basically download all new stuff as releases are
covered by Distrowatch? Just curious.</pre>

No I do not download all new stuff from Distrowatch. I don't
know why anyone would want<br>
16.04.6 but it has a couple of years of support as of this release
according to Distrowatch.<br>
Now I know some people are still running 16.0.4.x and some people
have lots of problems<br>
with 18.04.x so there may be a desire if not need for this latest
release of "Xenial Xerus".<br>
<br>
Now I am quite willing to satisfy the needs and desires of
members if it is within my<br>
limited capability so I asked if anyone wanted any of these.<br>
<br>
Now as to what I do download from Distrowatch or other sources,
distributionx such<br>
as PCLlinuxOS, Mageia, late versions of Ubuntu and its cohorts,
security centered <br>
distributions such as Parrot and Kali, what may sound interesting
like Easy OS,<br>
Cubes, major Distribution such as Debian and forks of Debian like
Devuan,<br>
tools like Live Gparted, Rescatux, SystemRescue CD, etc. ad lib.<br>
<br>
Have a nice night.<br>
