Thank you for your response! Does this mean I will not be able to run Pi-Hole unless I downgrade Rapbian?

@RedVegas

downgrade

Upgrade. Yes, you need to upgrade.

I am going to stop using Raspbian and use Ubuntu 16.04. Can you confirm this works?

@RedVegas

Can you confirm this works?

For supported OS see: Prerequisites - Pi-hole documentation
