[EdLUG] System Update

[Edinburgh Linux Users Group]

Hi,

I think the OP might be getting mixed up between 16.10 (non-LTS, just 
went end of life) and 16.04

A quick Google brought me to this page which has the life cycles listed 
and mentions a command you can run to determine  your support status.

https://www.ubuntu.com/info/release-end-of-life

Also see:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases


Kind regards,

Mark
