current version of ubuntu in use

sigh. after uninstalling the new jaunty jackalope from ubuntu because i did an upgrade from intrepid ibex, i found out about the lts versions of ubuntu. Long Term Support. I tried ubuntu 8.04 which is the current lts and didnt like it. I had some problems with the wireless and some other things. i toold it off and installed the version i had before i did the upgrade to jaunty and im good now. wireless works and i love how my laptop runs. i also found a tutorial on how to make the intrepid ibex look like the mac os-x and it was good and easy and had something that i had wanted from the first tutorial i used to make my ubuntu look like the os-x. that is the globalmenuapplet. it works now. im worried about the updates for intrepid. updates only last for 18 months after the release of a version. i had a bag experience with the upgrade and so will use intrepid until the updates time period is finished. then i will try the new lts.
