I mean nothing wrong with staying on an LTS release but at least be on the most current one. You do know that the 8.04 to 10.04 upgrade is supported in one hop both being LTS releases.
I do! Thing is, at some point I need to get another computing device (poss laptop) with significantly more memory than this has so I'd rather wait. Current model only has (and to think I thought this would be enough - oh how naive!) a measly 10GB hard disk and 200 and some odd RAM.
Why wait? If you want/need the newer software, you need to upgrade to a distribution that's < 3 years old... Getting more hardware shouldn't mean that you don't look after the old. Until the old goes in the bin, if it's being used, keeping it up to date is A Good Thing (tm).
