I was discussing Ubuntu releases, where the first number is the year. Which, unless my nap was much longer than I thought, means 17.* and 18.* haven't been released yet. It is likely (but never decided ahead of time) that 18.04 will be the next in the LTS series.

Hmm. Actually, 17.* and 18 are all LTS’s, with 17.* supported till April 2019, and 18 supported to April 2021.

 

Of course, 18 is only in Beta right now, so 17.* (currently 17.3 is the latest 17 variant) is the best choice.

 

Weird thing is that the mint site doesn’t mention 16 in its LTS list.  Not that it might not be LTS, I don’t know (could have sworn I skipped 16 because it wasn’t LTS, but then maybe I’m thinking about 15 – which I thought was already unsupported today.  Oh, well, whatever J - the point is that if you install Mint, make sure it’s an LTS release, and that it is supported for some reasonable distance into the future)

I of course need help on a Linux platform (Ubuntu 15.10)

 

I know nothing about IgnitionDeck or Wordpress, but please please don't deploy anything on Ubuntu 15.10, it is only supported until next month. 16.04 LTS is a much better choice for anything you expect to continue into August.
