Good info, but I guess I just upgrade my way to 2604
Don't get too hung up on it. It was an fyi not a "stop what you're doing you newb!"
We need people to test the latest, bleeding edge. So you're helping with that! But since you're new to Linux I wanted to make sure you knew what you were getting yourself into.
It's not that odd numbers are less stable. It's more that they aren't supported for long term. Many of the lessons learned are pushed to the next version though so either way you're doing good.
I'm not a PC gamer so for me stamina and longevity matter more to me than bleeding edge technology.
