Usually 'support' isn't a synonym for 'works', it means 'we'll help you with
problems'. They might not support Linux, in the sense you should expect it
to work and you can contact them and get help if it doesn't.
If they say they implement standards x/y/z and Linux does too there's a good
chance it'll work, but if it doesn't you're on your own.
