Re: [ptxdist] ptxdist recommend linux version

[Martin Hejnfelt <mh@newtec.dk>]

Hi,

I use Ubuntu 14.04, which works fine with newer versions of ptxdist
and toolchains, however if you want older ones you will probably need
to hack around a bit. To get eg. 1.99.3 working on Ubuntu 14.04 you
need to downgrade some packages and other goodies. I would recommend
to use 12.04 for something like that. I use a virtual machine with
12.04 for the older releases.
