I can't believe that they won't support all versions of all linux distributions on their servers, it's not as if it costs HP time, effort and money or anything.

Of course it costs them money.

We are not talking about support as in "yes, that software runs on our hardware", they already say that much. No, they mean support as in "if you have issues we will help you resolve them" and that does cost money.

I think Fraser was being just a tiny bit sarky there....

I received the following email from HP this morning on the subject.

I thought this information may be useful to you: http://www.ubuntu.com/news/hp-proliant-servers-certified-ubuntu

You'll see a list of certified hardware, note the new DL360/380 G6's are now listed.

By Mid-July we aim to have a bundle including our ProLiant management drivers and utilities available.

Kind Regards,
