Re: Compaq's support of Linux
I didn't get if that's a yes or a no. Compaq can either formally support Linux
or not (there's no "informal" formal support).
I hate to break it, but none of the Linux sites can officially declare the
support of Compaq, only Compaq can.
...So I guess the answer is "no".
