Yeah that's what I thought. Everyone I've spoken to about this has
told me that Etch will work no problem and I think the issue is 'they'
don't want to support Debian due to lack of technical resources.

Hi Justin Hartman,
AFAICT hardware support is provided by the kernel and its modules.
Unless thoese OS's have proprietary, or super-secret code, it sounds
like nonsense. There are 2 meaning for 'support': Some companies
'support' certain OS's meaning that you can pay money and get technical
support,the other meaning is that the computer can run the OS.
cheers,
Kev
