To answer the current question. As of yesterday I'm on the latest version of Linux Mint which I've dabbled with before.

Right now I have BTC, DOGE & LTC running on it but the QT for EGC I went to hell and back from under the old Distro. Wont run, yes assumptions are like a**holes... everybody has one. I assume it's a library thing.

It's a clean install with nothing done to it but some port mapping and installing VNC.

Edit...
Working with this: https://github.com/EverGreenCoinDev/EverGreenCoin/blob/master/doc/readme-qt.rst

Seems to be trying to compile something right now... we'll see.
