support newer Linux version
Hello, New to the list and not yet a user of Koha. The IT-person who will install it says that it runs on old Linux-versions he does not have anymore. Indeed, when I check the specs and compare that with Wikipedia I see that both the mentioned Debian and Ubuntu-versions are not new. It is an implicit compliment to the stability of those and I can understand that you don't want to force an OS upgrade to the current user base. But for new users it is an extra hurdle. Can I expect to see this hurdle disappear soon or should I look for alternatives for Koha? — met vriendelijke groet, ReindeR Rustema

According to https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/System_requirements_and_recommendations... the most current version Koha 23.05 supports operating systems Debian GNU/Linux 12 and Ubuntu 22.04, among others. Debian GNU/Linux 12 ist the most current Debian version (presumably supported until June 2028). Ubuntu 22.04 ist the most current Ubuntu LTS version (supported untiel April 2027). Use one of these instead of any older operating system version. Hope this helps. Best wishes: Michael -- Geschäftsführer · Diplombibliothekar BBS, Informatiker eidg.

As Michael correctly highlighted, we support latest releases as well as maintaining a level of backwards compatibility too. Could you let us know where you got your information so we can ensure it's updated.. it sounds like your looking at something that's outdated.

I read it on the green website, not the wiki. I copy-pasted it into Wikipedia even. Debian 10/11 is still in my copy-paste history! But I can't find it back. Someone else I asked for help also just read it and also pointed me to the wiki. Did someone fix it already? In the Google cache it still says: Koha packages are supported for the following OS releases: Debian 10/11 (Buster/Bullseye); Ubuntu 18.04/20.04/22.04 (Bionic/Focal/Jammy). And I now realise that I searched for Ubuntu 18 in Wikipedia. Not familiar with the naming scheme, assuming the most important information is mentioned first. The wiki is more clear, a new line in a bullet list for each supported system. Easy to scan and understand.
