Good afternoon!

Our gateway from the previous admin got ubuntu 10.10. Accordingly, support has already ended, so the question is - which is easier, roll it back to 10.04, and then update it as needed, or immediately update to 12.04?

The bottom line is that the first gemorno, the second - not the fact that it is reliable. How is it in general for 4 months?

I am for upgrade. 10.04, of course, is a time-tested workhorse, but nevertheless we need to move forward. You will not see anything critically new in 12.04 for server services.

Regarding 12.04, I can say that I will have to get used to it (I have been using it since the day of release), but in general it works, it seems like it doesn’t cause inconvenience, sometimes Compiz crashes in Unity, but you can survive it, rolling back to 10.04 will of course not be bad either, but still a year, another, and still have to climb onto something else. So my opinion is to upgrade to 12.04

Updated gateway and webserver from 10.10 to 12.04 a month ago.
Everything is great. No problem. So there is nothing to worry about.

And I'll warn you. I just can’t prove anything concrete, but having installed 12.04 myself not a desktop + LAMP from the packages, I got Mysql 5.5.24 and a headache with it. Some SQL (running on 5.1) sometimes crash mysql server. Something to do with foreign keys. So far, I haven’t dug much (I looked at the logs - it doesn’t write anything), but the sediment is unpleasant.

For the server quietly do upgrade. I myself solved the dilemma with the desktop and the server about two months after the release of 12.04 LTS. I deployed a server in virtualbox and drove it for almost a month - the flight was normal. Therefore, both servers (LAMP, Tomcat, Firebird) were translated at once. There was no task to mess around with the gateway, but again, I don’t see any possible complications. Most likely, even the versions of the services at the current moment in 10.04 and 12.04 will coincide. Here with a desktop everything is much worse. Some of my users live on 10.04 because Unity is clearly imprisoned, and some on Kubuntu 12.04 because everything is there, thank God!

easy to update, I use 12.04 on servers, there are no problems.
Underdone happens only in the desktop part, but here everything is fine, all the more so because it is a gate, which means there are no special services, but you will get a fresh kernel with security fixes coming out in time (the gate, which means you can reboot for the new kernel on occasion :) )
