Ubuntu FAQs<br />
Why Ubuntu?<br />
<strong>Pano</strong> <strong>Logic</strong> evaluated several options <strong>for</strong> the underlying OS <strong>for</strong> <strong>Pano</strong> Controller <strong>for</strong> <strong>Cloud</strong>. Ubuntu<br />
was the best overall. Because <strong>Pano</strong> Controller <strong>for</strong> <strong>Cloud</strong> is an appliance, users will not run other<br />
software or applications on the unit. Thus, compatibility with random thrid-party applications is<br />
not a design requirement.<br />
Why can’t I use a newer version of Ubuntu?<br />
Because <strong>Pano</strong> <strong>Logic</strong> has tested this one and detemined that it meets the requirements and is<br />
stable. While newer versions of Ubunti may have specific features useful <strong>for</strong> some users, the <strong>Pano</strong><br />
Controller <strong>for</strong> <strong>Cloud</strong> is a dedicated appliance, not a general-purpose server.<br />
LTS means Long Term Support. Ubuntu LTS releases get technical support from Ubuntu far longer<br />
than other releases - five full years. Thus you are assured that you won’t be caught up in frequent<br />
upgrades or patches. <strong>Pano</strong> Controller <strong>for</strong> <strong>Cloud</strong> is, and will remain, a stable appliance in support<br />
of your users.<br />
Ubuntu says that LTS will:<br />
• Be enterprise-focused: Ubuntuis targeting server installations, where users is risk-averse.<br />
• Be compatible with new hardware: Ubuntu will make point releases throughout the<br />
development cycle to provide functional support <strong>for</strong> new server and desktop hardware.<br />
• Be more tested: Ubuntu will shorten the development window and extend the beta cycle to<br />
allow <strong>for</strong> more testing and bug fixing.<br />
This chart, from data on Ubunu’s site, shows the expected longevity of Ubuntu 12 Server.<br />
