    End-of-Life for Zesty Zapus

    Heads up all. End-of-Life for Zesty Zapus happens on January 13, 2018. What does that mean for you still running Zesty?

    Ubuntu announced its 17.04 (Zesty Zapus) release almost 9 months ago, onApril 13, 2017. As a non-LTS release, 17.04 has a 9-month support cycle
    and, as such, will reach end of life on Saturday, January 13th.

    At that time, Ubuntu Security Notices will no longer include information or
    updated packages for Ubuntu 17.04.

    The supported upgrade path from Ubuntu 17.04 is via Ubuntu 17.10.
    Instructions and caveats for the upgrade may be found at:

    https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Upgrades

    Ubuntu 17.10 continues to be actively supported with security updates and
    select high-impact bug fixes. Announcements of security updates for Ubuntu
    releases are sent to the ubuntu-security-announce mailing list, information
    about which may be found at:

    https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/lis...urity-announce

    Development of a complete response to the highly-publicized Meltdown and
    Spectre vulnerabilities is ongoing, and due to the timing with respect to
    this End of Life, we will not be providing updated Linux kernel packages for
    Ubuntu 17.04. We advise users to upgrade to Ubuntu 17.10 and install the
    updated kernel packages for that release when they become available.

    For more information about Canonical’s response to the Meltdown and
    Spectre vulnerabilities, see:

    Since its launch in October 2004 Ubuntu has become one of the most highly
    regarded Linux distributions with millions of users in homes, schools,
    businesses and governments around the world. Ubuntu is Open Source
    software, costs nothing to download, and users are free to customise or
    alter their software in order to meet their needs.

    On behalf of the Ubuntu Release Team,
