Makes sense to me. So our indication for the Release Notes would be something like "OpenOffice 4.2.0 is built on CentOS 7 and is expected to run on Linux-based systems released in YEAR or later (CentOS 7, Ubuntu XYZ...)".

I'll check versions of glibc and the "YEAR" and "XYZ" placeholders above when I have time. We might also conclude that an Ubuntu LTS version is the best choice, but honestly CentOS 7 should definitely be "old enough" these days.

BTW, up to now I've been using VMware Fusion, but will likely start using Vbox 
instead... I'm assuming most people are using that anyway and it would be nice 
to be able to share the VMs with others.

I use KVM images. But indeed it's a wise idea to have something that we can share, and I believe Vbox images can be converted for use in KVM. I've done it in the past if I recall correctly.
