Update from Peak about our 10 GbE environment: unfortunately the 10 GbE Ethernet cards presented driver compatibility issues with Ubuntu 14.04. There are two options:
1. Use CentOS 6.5, for which I did a quick search and there are at least instructions for how to install MySQL 5.6 on CentOS 6.x. -or- 2. Reverto to Ubuntu 12.04.
I am not certain if using CentOS would change too many other things, causing us too many headaches.
I'm not all that familiar with CentOS myself.
If it were the case that the suite ran without new errors/problems on CentOS, I would be inclined to go that route. It's another viable/commonplace server OS and since Round 10 is shaking up the hardware configurations dramatically, adding a new OS to the mix wouldn't bother me. But on the other hand, perhaps the toolset would require too much modification to work on Cent.

brianhauer: using centos would break a ton :-( Mainly all the apt-get stuff
but some other issues as well
ubuntu 12.04 isn't a huge deal for us
but it rolls back some of the databases IIRC
I think postgresql becomes 9.1 by default
and mongo becomes 2.4
whereas we currently hvae 9.3 and 2.6
FWIW, Travis-CI uses Ubuntu 12.04 currently
so we can clearly run ok on it

A shame about Cent being awful. I'll let Peak know.

It's not that bad at all, but at the moment many of the scripts rely on a specific package manager. If we could just direct download everything that might be better (although we occasionally do direct download *.debs, whihc still wouldn't work on centos)
Hm...plus we have a lot of external dependencies that might work differently on different OS platforms
Not sure what probelms you would see there

It sounds like the bottom line is that CentOS is not workable. I'm seeing if we can back off to Ubuntu 12.
It is a bit frustrating that its not easy to get MySQL 5.6+ on Ubuntu 12.
