    You mean the difference between LTS and non LTS (All of 12.04 is LTS to a degree ), or difference between Ubuntu Desktop, and some other version? – Wilf Jan 29 '14 at 16:55

    What exactly are you comparing here? "Ubuntu" is Ubuntu, whether it's the Desktop images or the Server images. – Thomas Ward Jan 29 '14 at 16:58
  • 12.04.3 is an LTS version. Till now updates and upgrades totalled to 12.04.2. In about a month or so, the next iteration would be out. There is no version of 12.04 which is non-LTS – Projjol Jan 29 '14 at 17:38

There are no differences between the two.

"12.04" simply means that the initial release was in April 2012. The "LTS" means that this version (12.04) is supported for 5 years rather than 9 months. The ".3" means that it's the third updated install image for Ubuntu 12.04LTS, which includes all upgrades since the initial release of Ubuntu 12.04LTS in addition to a new kernel with support for new hardware.
