Hi :)
The LTS is the equivalent of the Stable Branch for Debian except that Stable = Old Development Branch so it's usually been around a few years before it's considered stable.
The LTS is developed as new and stable right from pre-planning stages. Updates, patches and all are back-ported to the LTS for 3 years after release (5years for server edition) on a higher priority than they are back-ported to other supported 6monthly releases.
So, i tend to get most clients onto the LTS and try to stick with it myself too. Soemtimes i move 1 or 2 machines onto the 6monthlies if there are issues with wireless drivers or something but i try to stay with the LTS if possible.
I do quite like Unity and think that it's good to have as the default. People that need something a bit beefier tend to be the sort of people that are able to switch DEs anyway.
Regards from
Tom :)
