At best, I hope that section of the website just hasn't been updated since June 21, 2012.

It's an important one to keep updated.... potential customers go there to find out if they are potential customers.

@Helen All the links to download are for version 6.x
Any one find a link for v7?

Ah, makes more sense then. Will the supported OSes be updated once that releases?

So v7 Beta is not available for download?

@scottalanmiller We will start to support Windows Server 16 and Ubuntu 16.04 as an installation platform. We have not received requests to support later versions of other OSes, but we will update these in the future.

That's likely a self fulfilling thing. If you don't support any current OS, no one running a current OS will use your product and therefore no one will request support for them. Ubuntu 16.04 isn't even current, that's one version behind and just a week or two away from being two behind. Not having current support signals to potential customers that you are no longer developing the product or that you can't keep up - and that's scary because we should not be choosing what platforms we run based on our backup products.
For example, I don't know anyone that could use a backup product that only supports systems from many years ago. I'm sure some shops can do that, but none that have active IT staff
It only takes having a single properly updated system for it to be a problem. -
Got clarification from the dev team: v7 will support the latest versions of Windows and Ubuntu 16.04.2. We'll try to add support for latest RedHat/Suse OSes in the near future. Thank you for your feedback!

That's good. Just for clarification, and we talk about this a lot on here, Ubuntu 16.10 is current, Ubuntu 16.04 is the Current LTS which is not current. In two weeks, Ubuntu 17.04 will be current and 16.04 will be two versions old. Ubuntu 16.04.2 is "still supported" but not to the same degree than the current release is. But it is definitely not current by any definition, even those that promote LTS as the way to use Ubuntu (which arguably, isn't systems people, that's developers talking.)

So anyone that really believes in the Ubuntu ecosystem and stays up to date, there isn't even a plan for them.
