<title>The Linux Distribution</title>
<para>
This document assumes you are running a reasonably current Linux-based host system.
The examples work for both Debian-based and RPM-based distributions.
The Yocto Project has been tested and is known to work on the current releases minus one
of the following distributions.
Follow this <ulink url='https://wiki.pokylinux.org/wiki/Distro_Test'>link </ulink> for more
information on distribution testing.

The build system should be able to run on any modern distribution with Python 2.6 or 2.7.
Earlier releases of Python are known to not work and the system does not support Python 3 at this time.
This document assumes you are running one of the previously noted distributions on your Linux-based
host systems.

If you attempt to use a distribution not in the above list, you may or may not have success - you
are venturing into untested territory.
Refer to

<ulink url='http://openembedded.net/index.php?title=Required_software&amp;action=historysubmit&amp;diff=4311&amp;oldid=4251'>Required Software</ulink>
for information for other distributions used with the Open Embedded project, which might be
a starting point for exploration.
If you go down this path, you should expect problems.
When you do, please go to <ulink url='http://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org'>Yocto Project Bugzilla</ulink>
and submit a bug.
We are interested in hearing about your experience.

The commands listed in this manual should work.
We are interested, though, to learn what works for you.
You can find more information for package requirements on common Linux distributions
at <ulink url="http://wiki.openembedded.net/index.php/OEandYourDistro"></ulink>.
However, you should be careful when using this information as the information applies
to old Linux distributions that are known to not work with a current Poky install.
