  Is this an offer or not, it seems like it is with the inclusion of the coupon right?

  @Infinity The main purpose of this post was to make people aware of the new distro, not the offer As such, I've removed the coupon code and instead put a link to our offer post.

  I hope this helps a bit

  I wouldn't exactly call it news, upgrading is easy.

  You could have just sent out a email to your clients, this does not really affect anyone but them. Also with all of these hosts on here, if we made a announcement like this every-time we added a new version of a distro it would be a TON of posts.

  Just my thoughts.

  We did. They were the first to know.

  Everyone on LET is welcome to sign up for an Evorack VPS running Ubuntu 12.04 pre-installed, not just current customers.

  Yes, I agree. That being said, there is a well established concept of a "Press Release". While this news may seem non-noteworthy to some, LET does allow providers to advertise here, so you can call it an advertisement

  Edit: For OpenVZ only: Xen PV (pygrub), HVM and KVM have no issues.

  Usually only if your provider is running (or faking) a 2.6.32 kernel on the host node (and many aren't).

  Thanks Jonny for getting it uploaded. Over weekend, I wanted to deploy something in my spare VMs and was surprised most hosts have not upgraded their templates.

  I had to open support tickets to get some hosts to add templates though

  Doesn't matter on Xen/KVM.

  I have nothing against an Industry Announcement section. I know Vanilla is slightly retarded when it comes to forum sections, but they are still there.
