   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.
