Hello!
My name's Milo, I'm a prefrosh and I've been following SIPB for some time. After I got accepted, I went to install Debathena on my 18.04 desktop only to find that the packages were only supported for Ubuntu 14 LTS.
That made sense to me, and I actually did downgrade to 14 to install the debathena packages, but when I SSHed into the dialup athena workstations I saw that these were running Ubuntu 18.04. Is there any way I can upgrade to the newer (and more secure now that 14 has reached EOL) version and use whatever metapackage the HOTD machine uses?
It's possible I missed an article on this in my research but it seems like nobody's really talking about what to do now that 14 is essentially obsolete for anything security related? Anyway, I really appreciate your help and look forward to meeting y'all this fall!
All the best,
Milo '23
