Allow me to disagree. Linux was kind of supported at some point, since user guides for the late models (DS20, DS25) explicitely mention Linux and how to set up the SRM parameters for it to boot, with example boot logs.


Linux was supported in the past, but support has almost entirely dried up since then. Only Gentoo still supports it as far as I know. But as for official certified UNIX, Tru64 was the only one.
