10.10

I fell in love with ubuntu when 10.10 was released. It was the perfect OS for me, but then, the 11 and the 12 series came, and I starting hating it (Pun intended)

But seriously, I want to stick to ubuntu 10.10, I have the .iso file with me. I want to go ahead and install it.

My question is, since its not currently supported, what problems will I face?

Will I be eligible for update? I mean atleast till the time it was supported

Can I somehow get security updates and patches

Will the latest software available still run on ubuntu 10.10

I don't care much about drivers, as much as I care about python, php, apache, wine and other softwares.

Will the software center work?and be updates as well?

What issues am I most prone to face?
