The reason some things in OFED might not work on a given distro is because,
no one volunteered to test this distro.
However:
- Maintainers for some packages use distros outside the list of
supported platforms. These will build and work,
but no one compiled a specific list - one'll have to ask
around, and OFED packaging might not work so one might need
to install packages individially.
- We do care about portability.
If someone is interested enough to test things out on a given distro,
and report issues, and work with maintainers on fixing things,
you will find that people will be happy to help.
Hope this helps,
