    1. Who said that? I've only seen them definitely saying they'll support Ubuntu.

    2. @xrevan86 Everything ive read has said they are developing on and for Ubuntu. Id love to see a list of other distros they plan to support.

    3. @lowell While I am doing so. Their Beta Application isn't necessarily a survey to determine what platforms they will support.

    4. @lowell "An 'other' option with no box for options also leaves out a lot of granularity.

    5. @lowell Also having all of the video card driver questions refer to Ubuntu package management seems telling.

    6. @trashheap Debian is called "The Universal Operating System" for a reason, support it and you support like 70% of all distributions.

    7. @trashheap Packages don't vary much across distros, if it works on Ubuntu it'll work on Debian & 70% of all distros, like all other software

    8. @trashheap "For Ubuntu" merely means "packaged as .debs". Just use "alien" and you've got yourself RPMs, problem solved.
