Hi Tomas

Thnaks for the suggestion. I have now filed Bug 18962 - Including valid 
system requirements in Koha manual
* https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=18962

#################################################################

According to 
https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_on_ubuntu_-_packages#Introduction 
Ubuntu 14.04 is no longer supported - but the information given on the 
page https://koha-community.org/download-koha/ still says that Koha is 
"Actively supported for packages: Debian 7 (Wheezy), Debian 8 (Jessie), 
Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty Tahr)".

It would probably be a good idea to have correct and complete 
information about the system requirements of Koha at the very beginning 
of the manual for every Koha version as it is good practice for almost 
every other software.

* the manual of every Koha version
* the release notes of every Koha version (or a link to the respective 
manual)
* https://koha-community.org/download-koha/ (or a link to the respective 
manual)

The systems requirements can be changing with every new version, of 
course, thus it is not enough to say in the manual: "Full system 
recommendations can be found on the official Koha wiki along with the 
developer documentation: http://wiki.koha-community.org".

I suggest the manual of every Koha version should include a section with 
the exact requirements for the respective Koha version, e. g.

* supported Linux distributions
* supported version of Apache HTTP Server
* supported version of MySQL
* supported version of Perl

This would probably also be helpful for all the guys that are trying to 
install Koha on unsupported Linux distributions like CentOS, Redhat etc.
