Ubuntu 9.04 Reaches End-of-Life on October 23, 2010

As noted by Ubuntu Fridge, Ubuntu released the final version of Jaunty Jackalope (Ubuntu 9.04) almost 18 months ago, on April 23, 2009. As this was not an LTS (long term support) release, Ubuntu committed to ongoing security and critical fixes for 18 months. The support period is now ending.

In order to upgrade from Ubuntu 9.04, it is necessary to first upgrade via Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic). Upgrades to version 10.04 LTS (Lucid) and beyond are only supported in multiple steps via an upgrade to Ubuntu 9.10, then to Ubuntu 10.04. Both Ubuntu 9.10 and Ubuntu 10.04 LTS continue to be actively supported.
