Re:Ubuntu 16.04: “Out of memory” errors after upgrade to 4.4... by solarengineer on Sunday January 29, 2017 @12:36AM (#13512384)
I happen to run most of the latest of things on CentOS (server-side only, though). My approach has been to package and deliver modern versions of various runtimes (python, ruby, jre) into specific directories for my apps. This way, I am not dependent on the system-provided runtimes which are an older version.

For my work with Belenix (revamp not announced yet), I am working on examples where users no longer depend upon system-supplied package versions, and instead choose their own local instances.

Are you aware of the "software collections"? That may or may not be of use to you.

Why don't you use Software Collections to get the newer versions of the runtimes?

Though I had a commercial contract in place for Software Collection, these were not as up to date with what the communities released (e.g. Ruby). Hence my approach of packaging and testing my own builds of these.
