The Emacs maintainers wanted to draw the attention of new users by always presenting the splash-screen. What's wrong with inhibiting it with (setq inhibit-startup-screen t)? Also, regarding Ubuntu 12.04, I'm using XUbuntu 12.04 on one computer. I agree with Glenn Morris that Ubuntu only do "long-term support" for the core which is installed by default. I use a PPA providing Emacs 24.3 it's from Damien Cassou. He doesn't support it anymore, but it works fine. https://launchpad.net/~cassou/+archive/ubuntu/emacs BR, Robert Thorpe
