[op25-dev] recommended build versions

Hi group, I want to build a new OP25/GnuRadio system. For those of you that may have a done a recent build, are there recommended versions of Linux and Gnuradio etc.. to use? My past experience was that different versions can cause major install headaches due to incompatibilities. I found it easier to try to get things working in a VM first so I could restore a snapshot after things got screwed up and would really like to minimize time spent to get a fresh build working correctly. Thanks for an tips!
