[Koha] Ubuntu 11.04

[Mark Tompsett]

Greetings,

If you are doing a fresh install, 11.04 doesn't make sense. Additionally, 
you may find that some perl libraries are not cleanly installed (i.e. you 
need to use CPAN, which is a major pain to keep track of for upgrading 
purposes). I would advise against doing an install where you need to CPAN 
libraries into place.

If you can upgrade to 12.04 LTS, I would recommend doing that first. This is 
due to the "End of Life" (EoL): 11.04 October 28, 2012. To check out other 
versions' EoL: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases
If you can't upgrade, because other things are running on the server. You 
may wish to talk to your system administrators about support for the OS 
being unavailable (having reached EoL).

3.6.x would have been compatible with 11.04 (10.04 LTS was recommended, 
because LTS releases tend to be more stable and supported longer from an OS 
perspective). At this point in time, the only way to install 3.6.x would be 
using a tarball installation which is not recommended and highly advised 
against EXCEPT for non-Debian based OSes. And again, the most current, 
supported releases of Koha are 3.8.x and 3.10.x, so 3.6.x would be a bad 
idea to install.

Remember: just because you can do it, doesn't make it a good idea. Sticking 
with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and either versions 3.8.x or 3.10.x of Koha is your 
wisest move.

GPML,
