I did not recommend 9.04 because I thought that it is an LTS release
but because, since he wanted 8.04, I thought that 9.10 would be too
recent and untested. Even though I have not had problems with Karmic
(or even Lucid), you have to err on the side of caution if your goal
is stability. Look at RHEL and Debian; simply from a kernel
perspective, they are using 2.6.18 and 2.6.26.

I moonlighted this weekend and installed two 9.04 servers because my
client insisted on Ubuntu. He had requested 9.10 but I refused, and he
refused to go for 8.04; we agreed that I would upgrade the servers to
10.04 in June/July. I usually install CentOS on such servers (since I
work with RHEL) but if I install Fedora, I do not use the most recent
release either.


Keep in mind that to upgrade to 10.04 you'll need to upgrade to 9.10
first. You would have been able to upgrade directly from 8.04 to 10.04
as they are LTS-to-LTS.
