Xbmcbuntu, why not 12.04 LTS - Apfelfrisch - 2013-10-31

Hi,

after installing Xbmcbuntu yesterday i wondering that it was build on 12.10, I thought they were using 12.04 because of LTS. I think the support for 12.10 ends in April 2014 and in that case I have to upgrade every half year - from 12.04 to the next LTS i can do it directly.

Why they using 12.10 instead of 12.04 and how do you handle the feature upgrades?

Ups, sorry i posted in wrong Forum...

They use 12.10 because 12.04 didn't work with newer hardware e.g. AMD Trinity at the time. Nobody forces you to upgrade, but if you want its standard ubuntu procedure.

There's also a new version of Xubuntu every year - with new version of Ubuntu - so that covers it as well.
