> This is a follow-up to the End of Life warning sent last month to
> confirm that as of today (May 9, 2013), Ubuntu 10.04 Desktop is no
> longer supported.  This announcement is for the desktop product
> only, Ubuntu 10.04 Server is still supported for another two years.
>
> The original End of Life warning follows, with upgrade instructions:
>
> Ubuntu announced its 10.04 (Lucid Lynx) release almost 3 years ago,
> on April 29, 2010.  As with the earlier LTS releases, Ubuntu
> committed to ongoing security and critical fixes for a period of 3
> years on the desktop. The support period is now nearing its end and
> Ubuntu 10.04 Desktop will reach end of life on Thursday, May 9th. At
>  that time, Ubuntu Security Notices will no longer include
> information or updated packages for Ubuntu 10.04 Desktop.  Ubuntu
> 10.04 Server continues to be supported for another 2 years.
>
> The supported upgrade path from Ubuntu 10.04 is via Ubuntu 12.04.
> Instructions and caveats for the upgrade may be found at
> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PreciseUpgrades.  Ubuntu 12.04
> continues to be actively supported with security updates and select
> high-impact bug fixes. All announcements of official security updates
> for Ubuntu releases are sent to the ubuntu-security-announce mailing
> list, information about which may be found at
> https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-security-announce.
>
> Since its launch in October 2004 Ubuntu has become one of the most
> highly regarded Linux distributions with millions of users in homes,
> schools, businesses and governments around the world. Ubuntu is Open
> Source software, costs nothing to download, and users are free to
> customise or alter their software in order to meet their needs.
