Hello Nathan,

The LDM package is built from source-code on the installation computer. So far, 
I haven't encountered a Linux distribution on which the package can't be built. 
So the answer to your question is "all of them".

Be advised, however, that the LDM system uses the system logging daemon 
(rsyslogd(8)) to log to a file that is *not*, by default, in the /var/log 
file-hierarchy. Such behavior is, by default, prohibited by an enabled SELINUX. 
So if you need SELINUX, then you'll either have to move the LDM logging 
directory or figure-out how to tell SELINUX to allow LDM logging.
