I think it depends on the installer. I had an NT box that I told them to install it on and they couldn't get it to install with their software. I had to manually add the card, DHCP, etc. I asked him about Linux and he said it wasn't supported (but neither was NT...) His feelings were if I could get it working, it was cool.
