That would require keeping it up-to-date. The Guix package in Nix got removed by Ludo because it was so out of date, and our Parabola members had to do quite a bit of troubleshooting in IRC to fix the AUR entry. Diane/detrout put together a .deb for installing but I don't know that anyone has actually tested it. As far as old distros, there's also Debian old-stable and Ubuntu 12.04, both of which have about a year left on their support. I don't know what versions they have, but I'm sure its similarly old. -- Efraim Flashner <efr...@flashner.co.il> אפרים פלשנר GPG key = A28B F40C 3E55 1372 662D 14F7 41AA E7DC CA3D 8351 Confidentiality cannot be guaranteed on emails sent or received unencrypted
