I'm fairly confident that it would run in all that are reasonably
current, although, it's likely that you would need to do some
adjustments to the install unless you're running one of the major
distributions. It's not as daunting as it sounds, but some persistent
issues are difficult to resolve. Failure to have support for gnome or
kde for packages that rely on some obscure part of either is a frequent
source of irritation.
