My interpretation of "support" was that if a customer of IBM installed Gentoo, 
they would still have support for strictly hardware related issues 
(motherboard; memory; processor; etc.). I know from frightful experience that 
some hardware mass-vendors will not provide hardware support if you are not 
running the OS that they installed for you at the factory. Is this a fair 
assumption of the IBM possibility?
