Right now you list support for just Windows XP -> Windows 8 on most products.   What's holding you back from "officially" supporting versions of Linux.   This will be even more relevant with the launch of Steamboxes...
 
I'd be happy with just "Ubuntu 64 bit"  added.

    Good question! The drivers actually come from NVIDIA and most if not all of these current EVGA graphics card products are supported in Linux currently.

    to claim support means EVGA has to test them in Linux as well, there is a cost factor there, and unless they start selling a large portion of cards to linux users there is no profitability to them

    EVGA's quality control has already determined that the hardware works.  NVIDIA's driver team has already determined that the software works.
     
    Since NVIDIA has created the driver which you will be using, and since NVIDIA has already done the testing, look at NVIDIA's driver support list for the most recent Linux 64-bit driver.
