Re: [orca-list] Questions about Distributions

I was using STS as a shortcut for whatever Ubuntu calls its twice yearly 
releases. Right now its 19.10/eoan. I have poked around the Ubuntu web 
site looking for the right term to use for those releases but they seem 
to just call it Ubuntu. But I've seen people call it STS to distinguish 
it from LTS so that's what I called it.
