The list of GNU/Linux flavors that are documented for the ATI Linux driver.

Although ATI can only actively support a small number of distributions, distribution vendors are encouraged to work with ATI to ensure that native packages can be created for their distribution. The current actively supported distributions are the '''Red Hat Enterprise Linux''' and '''Novell/SuSE''' suite of products.

Also note that the End User License Agreement explicitly provides for repackaging and redistribution of ATI's drivers. If your favourite distribution is not listed below, please work with them to contact ATI and either get support in the installer, or natively in the distribution.
