I have several Win7 clients and a Win7 server all running Kodi 17.6 and I want to keep everything compatible with a new Linux Mint install. I have tried Kodi v18 in several versions and always run into some compatibility issues so have stuck with 17.6. I had v17.6 running on Linux Mint 17.3 but had to redo the system and sadly I didn't keep a Kodi 17.6 version for Linux.
Where can I find a 17.6 Linux version please. Thank you.

Why not updating everything to Kodi 18?
You have to be aware about the following things:
Kodi 17.6 is outdated:
That means, if you have any problems with Kodi 17.x, those won't receive any fixes anymore
Binary add-ons:
if you are using binary add-ons (such as TVHeadend or others), those are not compliant from the team-xbmc/ppa with Kodi 17.x. Binary add-ons from the kodi stable ppa are compliant to Kodi 18. Installing binary add-ons which are compliant to Kodi 17.x require an additional ppa and therefor specific commands to install the specific versions.
So I would really recommend to update the rest of your clients to the current stable Kodi release.
