[ale] LTS doesn't always mean LTS

However if you are a school in GA that wants to run Linux and plans on 
doing the mandatory testing, you're going to have to install Ubuntu.

Another document that I saw suggested Fedora 20 was OK too, but that has 
even worse support EOL was June, 2015.

The problem with running just any old distro is that if it doesn't work 
you are in deep dodo.

While I don't think the distro has a lot to do with successful testing 
via a Chrome browser, if it doesn't work and you're using Ubuntu, you 
won't be blamed for it.
