Thanks, Michael. I've made some proofreading-type edits; it seems OK to
me now, at least as a starting point.

** Description changed:
Binary package hint: update-manager
Users can come into possession of a computer on which is installed a
version of Ubuntu that is no longer supported. In cases where the next
version of Ubuntu is supported, the user may upgrade to a supported
version. However,
I created a draft page explaining about the End-of-Life process for a release:

This would be the page that the user see if he/she clicks on "more
information" in the dialog. Feedback/corrections welcome, when we are
happy with this it should move to help.ub

I added code in natty now that will automatically detect if the release
is EOL and write it to motd (for servers) and popup a window that
contains upgrade instructions plus a (brief) explaination that the
current release is EOL. Its similar to the "screenshot of u-m running on
a EOL system" and we
Just for reference, here is what the dialog looks like that we currently
show (if the user opens update-manager or if update-manager is auto-

The next task is to ensure that once the distro becomes EOL there is

to explaining the user what unsupported means and what options the user
has.
