Download Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS

A new version of Ubuntu Linux is released twice a year. As with AMD’s Catalyst drivers, the release year and month form the version number. Canonical provides support for each version for a year and a half in the form of patches and updates. Once every two years, however, there is a special LTS edition, especially for business. The abbreviation stands for Long Term Support and means that support is provided for three years. Of course, updates can be downloaded within Ubuntu itself, but new images are posted on Canonical’s website twice a year. Below are the release notes for this second update for 10.04:
