[Xastir] Old Ubuntu Installation Notes

[Kurt]

Only problem there is one has a pile of code sitting on a device they're satisfied with and sometimesone is forced to rebuild from scratch on a new distro.  That can be a real pita.  I generally don't updateuntil the system doesn't run well anymore. There's always the risk that one's "old code" won't work wellon the "new", "latest" and "greatest" OS. (Like Windows 10. MS's new snooper malware OS that turns onemachine into a torrent client for them!)

Lee,

As an Ubuntu user that may transition to Debian in the future I agree.
Plus in the Ubuntu world if the "LTS" end date has passed then it really
is time to update the system in general.
