No one is asking them to "support" FreeBSD, just don't break things for no apparent reason. This is roughly analogous to an auto maker building a car that stalls every time you drive it under a high voltage power line and then "solving" the problem by saying: We don't support high voltage power lines. We recommend you don't drive your car under high voltage power lines. > 3) I have FreeBSD running fine on my Thinkpad 600E > and have had it there for the last year.
