How To Use Eol Versions Of Ubuntu
thekernalblog.github.ioCanonical makes most of their money selling ESM, so that businesses can continue to use EOL versions of Ubuntu for servers. That’s no secret. But, what many people don’t know, is that you can grab a free token so that you can use Extended Support Maintenance for personal use. It allows you to run Ubuntu 16.04 and even 14.04 for an extended period of time, while still getting security updates. So, if you would like to use an older version of Ubuntu while not having to worry about having your security compromised, I am going to show you how to get your token, install the Ubuntu Advantage Tools, and attach your token.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
