Distro to run Drupal on

[Todd Cole]

Yes as soon as it is patched and considered stable it will be upgraded. but
you can add a ppa that uses PHP 5.6 now but consider it as untested and
unstable.
Ubuntu 14.04 end of life on servers is 04/2019 but i have had very few
issues upgrading from server LTS 12.04-14.04 the migration usually gets
better and better. Several desktops have had issues doing 12.04 to 14.04
upgrade but both had many modifications. Todd
