Yocto Project releases are tested against the stable Linux

<ulink url='&OE_HOME_URL;/index.php?title=OEandYourDistro'>OE and Your Distro</ulink> and
<ulink url='&OE_HOME_URL;/index.php?title=Required_software'>Required Software</ulink>
for information for other distributions used with the

When you do, please go to <ulink url='&YOCTO_BUGZILLA_URL;'>Yocto Project Bugzilla</ulink>
and submit a bug.
We are interested in hearing about your experience.
