I just wanted to second Ben's recommendation. I haven't tested 2.7 yet, but when I upgraded a server with an existing Evergreen 2.5 from Ubuntu 12.04 to 14.04 for testing purposes there were several issues, some of which are reported as bugs: https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen?field.searchtext=14.04, others that had to do with Apache 2.4 changes. For a smooth Evergreen install on Ubuntu at this time version 12.04 is solid, whereas I would classify Evergreen on Ubuntu 14.04 “experimental”. 12.04 is LTS until 2017, so there is not a huge time crunch to move to 14.04, unless for testing and development purposes.
