• If you use GNU/Linux for Mystic, which distro do you use?

    Hi,

    If you use GNU/Linux as your OS for running Mystic, what distribution do you use? It somehow appears to me that Mystic is comfortable with Debian. I've
    used Debian 8.0 Jessie (armhf and amd64 architectures) for my BBS. But when I tried CentOS 7, my Python scripts for Mystic stopped working. I was hoping to use SELinux with my BBS, but it was unacceptable for my Python scripts to
    stop working.

    I haven't run Mystic on any other platform yet.

    Centos 6.x

    my BBS. But when I tried CentOS 7, my Python scripts for Mystic stopped

    I hated 7, when I tried it. The bbs vm will *never* be updated past 6.x.

    I'm running Ubuntu 16.10 (Yaketty)

    Currently still setting up the BBS so have only really tested out the basics.

    Were you able to use Python 2.7 scripts under Mystic in Centos 6? It appears that I can only use the Mystic functions properly, but the basic functions included with a basic Python 2.7 don't work for me in Centos 7. :(

    Hello Balky!

    It looks like 2.6 is installed on centos6, and as I don't use that feature in mystic I can't say if it will
    work or not.

    Oh well, I guess I can stick with Debian. :) I like how it uses stable packages. SELinux support with Debian 8.0 seems spotty, though. So I guess SELinux is out of the question.
