Keep in mind, CentOS 7 will only be fully supported through December 2020 (https://wiki.centos.org/About/Product). If you want to stay with CentOS then you probably want to look at CentOS 8 (December 2024). Similar situation with Ubuntu 14.04 (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases) though not it ended standard support April 2019. You may want to look at Ubuntu 16.04 (April 2021) or Ubuntu 18.04 (April 2023). If 32-bit is a driving concern, then you might want to actually look at Debian (https://wiki.debian.org/DebianBuster) which unlike Ubuntu is still supporting 32-bit systems AFAICT (i386 is still listed as a supported platform). $0.02 FWIW Ben --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org
