Comment on Moving from Ubuntu to Debian

Comments

Ubuntu provides LTS versions. Does any other distro do this? I'm mainly using it for my server OS and I'm always interested in alternatives.

Debian stable releases come out roughly every two years, and are supported for an extra year (or so) after the following release.

Otherwise RHEL/CentOS have longer support periods (ten years).

RHEL/CentOS currently provide ten years of (varying levels of) support in total for each release [1]. After that there's also the Extended Life Cycle Support.
