Hi, I use Ubuntu 14.04, which works fine with newer versions of ptxdist and toolchains, however if you want older ones you will probably need to hack around a bit. To get eg. 1.99.3 working on Ubuntu 14.04 you need to downgrade some packages and other goodies. I would recommend to use 12.04 for something like that. I use a virtual machine with 12.04 for the older releases.
