The ubuntu.eskimo.com shell server has been upgraded to the latest release, 16.04.1 LTS. This brings with it an upgrade of PHP to version 7.08, the same as on our web server.
Therefore, if you are doing any PHP development and need to test scripts, this machine would be the one to use.
This server is also equipped with a broad range of applications and has more memory than most of the others so it is a good machine to use.
If there are some applications you need which are not present, please contact support@eskimo.com.
