Hey guys,

 

Great show. My question involves Ubuntu 10.04 end of life coming up soon. I’m running this distro and really like it. When the updates stop, do you see any reason for me to move on to something else? Everything is set just the way I like it, and I don’t want to spend the time to install a newer version. I’m really just concerned with security- is it safe to continue online banking with a no longer supported version of linux?

Thanks

Michael Bye
