Why Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper Drake must be long term support?

Ubuntu is one of the most popular in recent years. I like Ubuntu over other distributions because of its near-constant release date, says 6 months. However, 6 months seem to be too short for enterprise applications. They don't want to upgrade OS every 6 months or so. That is a reason why Dapper Drake must be long term support.

How to insert an image into primary links in Drupal

Drupal normally provides powerful and secure menu system to all of us. We are able to manipulate primary links and secondary links seamlessly and easily with little effort.

We can customize theme to let us insert just only img tag.

Anyway, all previews are not the real products and there is no professional support. We have to learn how to solve issues ourselves.
