OK. Other ways to achieve that, this is one. > Sure it's > got a GUI - the standard CentOS GUI - but it also runs the same versions > of MySQL, nginx, PHP, Redis... as the servers I support. The software in question required gtk3, ao I assume it's a desktop application. How does installing a gtk3 library(!) on your desktop, for the exclusive use of one desktop application, affect your mysql, php, nginx, etc.? So far, your no-gtk3-on-my-desktop rule seems arbitrary and nonsensical, so I'm interesting in your resoning (which so far I fail to follow). > IMO bleeding edge has no place in the production environment. That may be so, but your desktop is not a production environment. If you need a proper staging server, install one. Virtualbox is good. Running a stripped-down server as your desktop will give you headaches, as you're noticing.
