Ahh and which companies would these be? As a representative of the most prominent one in the US I can tell you that you are not speaking from a knowledgeable position.

note I said many, not all. I am aware that your company does not fall into this catagory.

I know, but I am curious as to *what* companies. Any reputable PostgreSQL company is going to support Linux as a whole except maybe some fringe distros like Gentoo or RedFlag. Not to mention FreeBSD and Solaris.

I'm not going to name names in public, but I will point out that different companies definitions of what constatutes 'fringe distros' are different. For some any linux other then RedHat Enterprise or SuSE is a fringe distro (with SuSE being a relativly recent addition, for a while RedHat were frequently the only supported distro versions)

and please note, when I'm talking about support, it's not just postgresql support, but also hardware/driver support that can run into these problems
