Thanks.              When you install an LTS version of Ubuntu you get a "stable" version of       apps but not necessarily the latest versions. By registering you can get       more updated patches (free for personal use for up to 5 systems) whereas       before you had to either install the newer non-LTS version or wait until       the next LTS release.              --       Take care,              Jonathan       -------------------       LITTLE WORKS STUDIO       http://www.LittleWorksStudio.com              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
