Yes, and with a little bit of work you can install these packages on pretty much every distro anyway. I've got a few packages on Arch which are only officially supported on Ubuntu, and I never had any problems with them.

They even include a shell script to install on non-supported distros:

Its likely a tarball masking as a shell script (or at 800MB it is the most massive shell script i have ever seen).

I'm pretty sure 800MB of actual shell script would be capable of sentience and self-awareness :)

On any distro with a compatible set of GNU tools. Unfortunately, GNU breaks its binary compatibility all the time.
