As I look at the future of LMS, I think a useful way to future-proof this for several years is to create a standard virtual machine file that I can then simply migrate onto different computers and OS's in the future.
I currently have LMS 7.7.2 running on Ubuntu 12.04 and it's working quite stably, so that's what I'd set up on a Virtual Machine. I'd also "back up" that virtual machine as soon as I set it up so I always have a "fresh" copy, meaning that I can always simply load up the original, working configuration if the running copy gets messed up over time.
I'll probably work on this over the Thanksgiving holidays, but wanted to ask the community if anytone has done it and if there are any issues I ought to watch out for. I imagine access-permissions might be especially tricky in such a configuration, but I shall not know until I really try it, I guess :)
