Mark, Opencog works great with pretty much any kind of linux. I personally run it on bleeding edge debian unstable. I have docker containers where its on 16.04 and 16.10 I am also currently running it on a pre-historic version of RedHat (because I have to, because its not my machine) and it works great - although I did have to get a modern compiler installed on it. Otherwise, no issues.
