This from an Email from Adam Conrad and the Ubuntu team.

The Ubuntu team is pleased to announce the release of Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS
(Long-Term Support) for its Desktop, Server, Cloud, and Core products,
as well as other flavours of Ubuntu with long-term support.

As usual, this point release includes many updates, and updated
installation media has been provided so that fewer updates will need to
be downloaded after installation. These include security updates and
corrections for other high-impact bugs, with a focus on maintaining
stability and compatibility with Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.

Kubuntu 14.04.1 LTS, Edubuntu 14.04.1 LTS, Xubuntu 14.04.1 LTS,
Mythbuntu 14.04.1 LTS, Ubuntu GNOME 14.04.1 LTS, Lubuntu 14.04.1 LTS,
Ubuntu Kylin 14.04.1 LTS, and Ubuntu Studio 14.04.1 LTS are also now
available. More details can be found in their individual release notes:


https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TrustyTahr/ReleaseNotes#Official_flavours

Maintenance updates will be provided for 5 years for Ubuntu Desktop,
Ubuntu Server, Ubuntu Cloud, Ubuntu Core, Ubuntu Kylin, Edubuntu, and
Kubuntu. All the remaining flavours will be supported for 3 years.

I liked DOS 5 too
I really like flashback session better though
I just never did warm up to Unity and trust me I tried and don't know if I will ever be able to.
Whats the advantage of Unity anyway? I just don't get it. Very little customizing, have to live with the colors as they come and on and on. I grant you with flashback sessions I don't have the color options either but I do like the menu setup just fine.
It simply works for me

Uninstall it first or you will have a dead box. I'm not upping to Trusty. I'll wait till the end of 12.04LTS. Warning - DO NOT INSTALL HWE stack.

Looks like support for MintPPC has lapsed, so nice to see Lubuntu supporting at least G4 Macs ...
