                What to do when your ubuntu distro is End-of-Life
              
          
    Let's say you're using Ubuntu 13.04 (Raring Ringtail, released in April 2013) and it just went End-of-Life on you, because it's supported for only 6 months, and the deprecated packages are taken down after 12 months.
You'll probably figure this out the hard way. When you run sudo apt-get update, it will eventually report these errors:

Err http://security.ubuntu.com raring-security/main Sources
  404  Not Found [IP: 91.189.91.15 80]
