<br type="attribution">Ubuntu announced its 9.10 release almost 18 months ago, on October 29,<br>
2009. As with the earlier releases, Ubuntu committed to ongoing security<br>
and critical fixes for a period of 18 months. The support period is now<br>
nearing its end and Ubuntu 9.10 will reach end of life on Friday,<br>
April 29, 2011. At that time, Ubuntu Security Notices will no longer<br>
include information or updated packages for Ubuntu 9.10.<br>
<br>
The supported upgrade path from Ubuntu 9.10 is via Ubuntu 10.04.<br>
Instructions and caveats for the upgrade may be found at<br>
<a href="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LucidUpgrades" target="_blank">https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LucidUpgrades</a>. Ubuntu 10.04 LTS<br>
continues to be actively supported with security updates and<br>
select high-impact bug fixes. All announcements of official security<br>
updates for Ubuntu releases are sent to the ubuntu-security-announce<br>
mailing list, information about which may be found at<br>
<a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-security-announce" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-security-announce</a>.<br>
<br>
Since its launch in October 2004 Ubuntu has become one of the most<br>
highly regarded Linux distributions with millions of users in homes,<br>
schools, businesses and governments around the world. Ubuntu is Open<br>
Source software, costs nothing to download, and users are free to<br>
customise or alter their software in order to meet their needs.<br>
