+# Verify Your Build Host
+
+In order to build a Microservice binding natively, you need to be using a
+supported Linux distribution.
+In general, a recent version of Debian, Ubuntu, OpenSUSE, and Fedora works.
+Following is a specific list of supported distributions:
+
+* [Debian](https://www.debian.org/releases/) 9.0
+* [Ubuntu](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases) 16.04, 16.10, 17.10, and 18.04
+* [OpenSUSE](https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Roadmap) Leap 15.0 and Tumbleweed
+* [Fedora](https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases) 27, 28, 29, and Rawhide.
+
+Exporting the `DISTRO` environment variable defines the distribution.
+Following are examples:
+
+```bash
+export DISTRO="Debian_9.0"
+export DISTRO="xUbuntu_16.04"
+export DISTRO="xUbuntu_16.10"
+export DISTRO="xUbuntu_17.10"
+export DISTRO="xUbuntu_18.04"
+```
+
+Set the `DISTRO` environment appropriately.
