- If you use Debian derivatives such as "BunsenLabs Linux", "Kali Linux" or
"LMDE" (Debian-based Mint) should follow the installation instructions for
[Debian](debian.md), substitute the version of your distribution for the
corresponding Debian release. Refer to the documentation of your distribution to find
which Debian release corresponds with your derivative version.
- Likewise, if you use Ubuntu derivatives such as "Kubuntu", "Lubuntu" or "Xubuntu"
you should follow the installation instructions for [Ubuntu](ubuntu.md),
substituting the version of your distribution for the corresponding Ubuntu release.
Refer to the documentation of your distribution to find which Ubuntu release
corresponds with your derivative version.
- Some Linux distributions provide a package of Docker Engine through their
package repositories. These packages are built and maintained by the Linux
distribution's package maintainers and may have differences in configuration
or are built from modified source code. Docker isn't involved in releasing these
packages and you should report any bugs or issues involving these packages to
your Linux distribution's issue tracker.

Docker provides [binaries](binaries.md) for manual installation of Docker Engine.
These binaries are statically linked and you can use them on any Linux distribution.
> While the following instructions may work, Docker doesn't test or verify installation on distribution derivatives.

- For Debian derivatives (for example, BunsenLabs Linux, Kali Linux, LMDE):
- Follow the [Debian installation instructions](debian.md).
- Substitute your distribution version for the corresponding Debian release.
- Check your distribution's documentation for the matching Debian release.
- For Ubuntu derivatives (for example, Kubuntu, Lubuntu, Xubuntu):
- Follow the [Ubuntu installation instructions](ubuntu.md).
- Substitute your distribution version for the corresponding Ubuntu release.
- Check your distribution's documentation for the matching Ubuntu release.
- Some Linux distributions provide a Docker Engine package in their repositories. These packages are built and maintained by the distribution's maintainers and may have configuration differences or use modified source code. Docker isn't involved in releasing these packages. Report bugs or issues with these packages to your distribution's issue tracker.
