Thanks for showing up to the party! Virtualization really helps here, you can just test on virtual machines on your desktop and throw them away and rebuild them as necessary. As a bonus you can follow these guides and start improving them as you go along: https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/libvirt.html https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM I like to keep a set of VMs around, one for each major release, etc. Another option is using Vagrant, which is a nice wrapper around Virtualbox for developers. We now publish Vagrant images http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/vagrant/ but it appears we have no documentation on how to use it, how developers should use it, and common workflows, so if you want to learn a new tool we could really use help here. -- Jorge Castro Canonical Ltd. http://juju.ubuntu.com -- ubuntu-server mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server More info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam
