Do later versions cause issues? I snagged the Debian 8.4 tarball, set my kernel to 3.16.0, and it worked. > I even "apt update/upgrade"ed it. Likewise. I then went a bit further, and did a full build and test run of our software stack. So that exercises java, jruby, maven, make, g++, postgres, fairly heavily. No problems with LX as such, but it did bring up one issue. I initially got a lot of errors due to 'Too many open files'. Looks like the default limit of open files is set quite low - 256, which is quite a bit lower than a normal Linux system. It would be worth raising the default limit for LX to 1024 to avoid surprises. -- -Peter Tribble http://www.petertribble.co.uk/ - http://ptribble.blogspot.com/
