But it was suggested in this mailing list that since 14.04 is EOL and 16.04 will be supported until 2021, this should be the next move. Since I'm running 16.04 I volunteered to give it a run (my first time building binaries) and check what are the differences/obstacles compared to what is described for 12.04 and 14.04 If the people on the list are up to receiving newbie questions, I don't have any problem in showing publicly my ignorance :) Best, Pedro
