<div>Take live CD of what you want to run on. Put in a demo box until you find one that works. Buy that mobo.</div>

Seems like you would be happier staying on LTS releases.<br>
14.04 --> 16.04 for the 5 yrs of support. Stay on the .1 release<br>
14.04.1 or 16.04.1 ... the others do not provide 5 yrs of support.<br>
<br>
Avoid odd years and October releases.<br>

Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you
gain at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his
own tail. It won't fatten the dog.
