Yes, it depends on how much energy you want to put into it.
There are always lots of options, but most or all may be riskier or much
more work than upgrading to Gutsy, or making a separate server than has
gutsy,
or some other Linuxy thing that has 1.8.6 on it. Meanwhile, I'll post
here if the wishlist Item I just put in the butlist for Ubuntu gets a
response. I would think they'd want to provide 1.8.6 on anything that
is still supported. I expect it won't require much work to do it, but
it may also be a very low priority, as Ubuntu's main focus is on
workstation support.
Best wishes.
