Where: Ubuntu Live Conference, Oregon Convention Center, Portland, OR, USA
When: 11:30 PDT on Tuesday 22 July 2008
Who: Bradley M. Kuhn
A key Ubuntu system administration challenge is handling even a medium-sized user base who may be, for various reasons, locked into a specific non-current official release. This session will explore the best options for “backports” of new packages to the old release, from the official backports repository available with Ubuntu to the home-grown variety.
This session is part of the Ubuntu Live 2008 Conference.
