Hello,
You are receiving this e-mail because you are listed as the Moira
contact for SOLAR-ONE.MIT.EDU.
This machine is currently running Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty). Ubuntu 9.04 was
desupported by Ubuntu at the end of October. This means that your
workstation will no longer receive security updates or bugfixes, so we
recommend you upgrade your workstation to Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid) as soon
as possible.
** In the future, to ensure you continue to receive important
information about supported versions of Debathena, please add yourself
to the release-announce mailing list. This list is very low-traffic,
with only 4-5 e-mails per year. You may subscribe to the list at:
https://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/release-announce
If you choose to upgrade your workstation, please note that the upgrade
is a two-step process: you will need to first upgrade to Ubuntu 9.10
(Karmic), and from there to Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid). Alternatively, you
may choose to backup any local data, and re-install your workstation.
Instructions on upgrading your workstation can be found at:
http://kb.mit.edu/confluence/x/TgVa
As with any software installation or upgrade, we recommend that you
have a recent backup of your locally-stored data before beginning the
upgrade process. We also recommend you fully test any important
software before upgrading, or consider installing a new, separate Lucid
workstation.
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to send e-mail to
debathena@mit.edu.
Sincerely,
Jonathan Reed IS&T Athena Release Team release-team@mit.edu
