The current stable release of the PiDP-8/I software distribution was tested with the [Raspbian Jessie Lite](https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/raspbian-jessie-is-here/) distribution, and the current development version is being tested
with the [Raspbian Stretch Lite](https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/raspbian-stretch/) distribution.

Raspbian-based OSes like [pipaOS](http://pipaos.mitako.eu/) should also work, but this is not tested by the project's current developers.

The project's primary maintainer does occasionally build the software on his Ubuntu laptop as well. It works fine as long as you're not using any of the features that require the PiDP-8/I front panel hardware.

Because of that success, we expect it will run on any other Debian derivative, too, though this is not tested.


# Non-Debian Linuxes

Non-Debian type Linux based OSes like [openSuSE for the Pi 3](https://en.opensuse.org/HCL:Raspberry_Pi3) or [CentOS for the Pi 3](https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/AltArch/Arm32/RaspberryPi3) are likely to require local workarounds to get the software to run. The mechanism for driving the front panel hardware is also likely to require changes on these OSes.

If you manage it, we would be happy to examine your [patches](/doc/trunk/HACKERS.md) for possible inclusion in the next version of the software.
