Hi All,

Can I please check. (linux noob 🙂

I am compiling nginx under Ubuntu 10.4 - but I need to deploy on 8.04.

It that going to work, or should I avoid grief by compiling under 8.04?

Regards

Ian

Due to glibc changes between 8.04 and 10.04, you should definitely build  
on  
8.04 in order to deploy to it.
