Just to add something related, while Phil uses 14.0 for GUB I am still using 
16.04 LTS (Xenial) for patch testing. With 18.x Guile 1.8 is no longer part of 
the distribution so I get Guile 2.whatever-it-is and this breaks patch testing 
(as we know). The CG which lists all the other distributions that you can test 
patches on was added by myself but I know most of them are probably EOL (or 
about there) and I don;t know what the Guile state of those other distributions 
are.

I saw something that Federico did on the dev list about compiling Guile 1.8 for 
one of his (I think) LilyDev Images and then set the PATH accordingly, but I 
haven't had the time to sit down and try this with the latest Linux Distro's 
out there.

So for now all of my patch testing and branch merging are done on an Ubuntu 
16.0.4 LTS machine (or machines depending if I am testing from Home).
