However, compatibility this can not guaranteed for any Linux distribution -- binary platform independence in Linux not possible in general; since we use Ubuntu, all Debian derivatives might most likely work. Note further, high-performance computers typically provide specifically optimized versions of BLAS and LAPACK, so for the ultimate performance on a certain system, you'll need to build your own version of the BoSSS native libraries.
