<p>There's actually nothing that isn't packaged for squeeze, hence robin's recommendation. Squeeze plus the koha packages at <a href="http://debian.koha-community.org">debian.koha-community.org</a> will give you an installed system without having to use anything other than packages.</p>
<p>For ubuntu lucid its the same except some of the packages are in the multiverse.</p>
<p>Btw we are actually releasing monthly, for maintenance releases, and 6 monthly for feature releases but none of them should require an OS upgrade.</p>

Ubuntu has a 18 month support cycle, so you only have to upgrade once a year to remain on a supported version.<br>
<br>
But Debian/Ubuntu upgrades are pretty seamless anyway. Koha has a few dependancies that aren't pre-packaged (and will therefor require some manual attention at update time), but not much.<br>
<br>
Given that (as I understand things) Koha is planning for twice a year releases, you probably should be upgrading at least once a year anyway.<br>

My recommendation would be Debian Squeeze and using the Debian<br>
packages.<br>
<br>
If not that, Ubuntu Server 10.04 LTS. I'd not suggest using a non-LTS<br>
Ubuntu, unless you're OK with upgrading every 6 months (which is not fun<br>
in a server environment.)<br>
